IRE announces new training fellowship for rural journalism

A new fellowship is available for reporters from news organizations that serve a largely rural audience. It will help send such journalists to IRE's computer-assisted reporting boot camps.

The R-CAR Fellowship was created by IRE member Daniel Gilbert, to give rural reporters skills that will help them uncover stories that otherwise would not come to light. To read about Gilbert's motivation for creating the fellowship, click here.

The fellowship is offered in conjunction with The Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues. For more information, click here.
