The Texas Tribune, a digital-first news organisation, providing in-depth, nonpartisan coverage of Texas politics and public policy, is now receiving applications from interested applicants for its 2026 fellowships.
Its nonprofit newsroom covers a wide range of topics, including public and higher education, health, immigration, politics and the environment. In addition to investigative reports, it produces robust journalism in a variety of formats, from data visualisations and searchable databases to explanatory guides and editorial events, all designed to bring greater transparency and accountability to public policy and government.
Tribune fellowships offer paid positions for currently enrolled college students who work part-time in the spring and fall and who are full-time in the summer. Recent graduates are eligible for the summer programme, but spring and fall fellows must be enrolled as community college, undergraduate or graduate students while working at the Tribune.
Tribune fellowships are available to those seeking experience in audience engagement, data visualisation, engineering, events, marketing and communications, nonprofit resource development, photography, product development, graphic design, and reporting.
College students who want to put their classroom lessons into practice and launch their careers while working toward a more engaged, better-informed, more civically aware Texas are welcome to apply.
The Tribune’s newsroom fellowships offer practical experience in public service journalism. Fellows will work alongside award-winning staff to produce meaningful, fact-driven work that informs Texans and holds power accountable.
Applicants can apply for more than one fellowship. Interested applicants should please visit: https://recruiting.paylocity.com/Recruiting/Jobs/Details/3601880 for the details and requirements of each fellowship.
For general questions about the fellowship programme, please contact Andy Alford, the Tribune’s Director of Recruitment, Training and Career Development, at andy.alford@texastribune.org. Applications sent by email will not be accepted.
The deadline for spring and summer fellowships has passed, prospective applicants should therefore submit their applications for the fall fellowships by February 15, 2026.
