Our 2013 Knight Mozilla Fellows are hacking the news around the world. Join the fellowship community in 2014.

Become a Knight-Mozilla Fellow

Knight-Mozilla Fellows spend 10 months embedded with our partner newsrooms. Our Fellows are developers, technologists, civic hackers, and data crunchers who are paid to work with the community inside and outside of their newsroom to develop open-source projects. Fellows work in the open by sharing their code and their discoveries, helping to strengthen and build journalism's toolbox.

Apply to Become a 2014 Fellow

Six news organizations around the world will be hosting our five Knight-Mozilla Fellows in 2014. Now is your chance to be one of them. Starting on June 17, 2013 and closing August 17, we are looking for people who love to code and want to change the world of journalism for the better. Could this be you? Apply now to become a 2014 Fellow.

Be Embedded in the Newsroom

Knight-Mozilla Fellows experience the day-to-day energy of some of the best newsrooms in the world: being present as news breaks, writing code for the day’s headlines, wrangling thorny datasets, and taking a step back to solve real-world journalistic problems. Our Fellows' work is rooted in developing projects that help us better understand our world.

Work in the Open

Knight-Mozilla Fellows share the work they’re doing with the world outside of the newsroom. By blogging their experiences, pushing code to open repositories, taking part in the OpenNews community calls, and engaging with other developers, our Fellows are helping to spread the code they’re making and strengthen the journalism-developer community. And given that news is such a large part of the web, the open work of the Fellows contributes to a more transparent, open, and accessible web.
