Description:
Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Seeks 2025-26 Edward R. Murrow Press Fellowship Applicants
Launched in 1949, the Edward R. Murrow press fellowship
seeks to promote the quality of responsible and discerning journalism that
Edward R. Murrow exemplified.
This transformational fellowship offers a
distinguished journalist, who has covered international news working in print,
broadcast, or online media, to spend ten months in CFR’s New York office researching
and writing on a critical foreign policy topic. The program enables the fellow
to engage in sustained analysis and writing, expand their intellectual and
professional horizons, and contribute to CFR’s active program of research,
writing, and events. Strong preference is given to candidates whose
proposed projects would contribute to the Council’s current strategic
initiatives on China, U.S. economic leadership, climate change, technology,
Ukraine/Russia, the Middle East, or grand strategy.
CFR awards one fellowship annually, beginning
in September. Qualified applicants must be U.S. citizens and possess a strong
record of professional achievement.
The fellowship
begins in September 2025 and runs for ten
months. Fellows are independent
contractors rather than CFR employees, and they are not eligible for employment
benefits, including health insurance.
