The Texas Tribune is now accepting applications for its paid 2027 spring and summer fellowships. We’re looking for creative, highly motivated students or recent graduates to join Texas’ premier digital news organization. Our nonprofit newsroom provides robust, nonpartisan coverage of Texas politics and public policy in a variety of formats — from breaking social videos and in-depth enterprise articles to searchable databases and editorial events.
We’re looking for college students eager to put their classroom lessons into practice and launch their careers while working toward a more engaged, better-informed, more civically aware Texas. And not just in reporting, photojournalism or data journalism. Non-journalism fellows are critical to ensuring we can continue to serve Texans with factual, nonpartisan news.
Spring fellowships are part-time, run January to May and are for currently enrolled community college, undergraduate or graduate students. Summer fellowships are full-time, run June to August and are for currently enrolled students or recent graduates.
Job Description
Our marketing and communications fellows assist in coordinating marketing and media relations for Tribune products, including events and news. They help the MarCom team with copywriting, digital marketing and social media placement, project management and field marketing. They also assist with community outreach efforts through email and phone calls to increase awareness of and attendance at events, and they help coordinate media interviews for Tribune reporters.
We need creative self-starters who can quickly learn and adapt to new systems and processes. Strong candidates can demonstrate their reliability in rapidly changing environments and their ability to work comfortably on multiple projects with a hybrid team. Strong writing skills are a must; experience writing marketing copy is preferred. In-person or hybrid candidates strongly preferred.
