The Knight-Mozilla Fellowships

The centerpiece of the OpenNews program, the Knight-Mozilla Fellowships embed developers and technologists in newsrooms around the world to spend a year writing code in collaboration with reporters, designers, and newsroom developers. Fellows work in the open by sharing their code and their discoveries on the web, helping to strengthen and build journalism's toolbox.

Meet the 2013 Knight-Mozilla Fellows

Our 2013 Knight-Mozilla Fellows will be embedded in eight world-class newsrooms to create new, open-source projects, tools, and experiments to drive innovation in news forward. Learn more about our 2013 fellows today.

Embedded in the Newsroom

The Knight-Mozilla Fellows are able to 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, and taking a step back to solve real-world journalistic problemsets, the Knight-Mozilla Fellows' work is as real-world as it gets.

Working 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, the Knight-Mozilla Fellows are helping to spread the code they're making and strengthen the journalism-developer community.
