✍️ 300 New Journalism Jobs + Weekly Freelance Pitches, Fellowships and Calendar Listings — September 9, 2026
Hello and welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom, home to more journalism opportunities than any other newsletter in the world.
Today we are back with another nudge toward the Karsh Journalism Fellowship, one of the only fellowships for professional journalists of all backgrounds offering specialized learning in Jewish issues. Especially now, accuracy and independence matter more than ever on these beats.
Here's a sampling of what the 2026 cohort said about the experience:
“I came away with a more thorough understanding of the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict.”
“It stretched my preconceived notions about Israel and about Zionism. It was cool that some of the people in the fellowship didn't all agree.”
“We talked a lot about how words can be coded and carry different weight for different people. Whether you call it occupied Palestine, or Judea and Samaria, or the West Bank tells you something about the speaker's perspective, even when they don't state it.”
“I thought the director did a really good job picking a really diverse group of speakers. There was no censorship. You could actively disagree with someone.”
“Our text thread is still active, and we're sharing what we're working on. I feel like we formed more than acquaintanceships.”
“It's given me some ideas on where to search for Jewish stories, and second, it's given me the confidence to know that, yes, these are stories that are important beyond just the Jewish community. Since the fellowship started, I can think of three or four stories I've done that I wouldn't have done otherwise.”
If that sounds like the kind of professional development you've been looking for — which includes a $4,000 stipend and all travel and lodging covered for three intensive retreats in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C., to engage with leading journalists, scholars, policymakers, and cultural figures — full details are can be found here. Apply by October 15, 2026.
And if you have another opportunity you want to promote like the one above, please fill out this quick form and we'll get right back to you.
