Emerging Journalists Fellowship
Are you an aspiring multimedia journalist who’s interested in working in public media? If so, this may be the job for you. Central Florida Public Media is hiring its second Emerging Journalists Fellow—a position created to not only help bridge the gap between college and gaining the needed experience to start your career, but also to give those of us who may have been out of school for quite some time an avenue to a new career. Central Florida Public Media’s Emerging Journalists Fellowship is a yearlong program with a start date in August of 2025. The chosen fellow will be immersed in the news operation and involved in story production from pitch to completion. Fellows will also be trained to host our flagship shows—Morning Edition and All Things Considered. With this fellowship, Central Florida Public Media is working to cultivate the next generation of journalists and newsroom and industry leaders.
Annual Salary: $45,000 plus benefits and generous PTO.
Who We Are
Central Florida Public Media provides Central Florida with journalism and fact-based content that empowers the community to better understand and participate in our diverse and complex world. We serve Central Floridians who seek unbiased, factual, truthful information and nuanced discussion — people who share a common curiosity and concern about the complex issues and challenges facing our community, nation, and world.
We consider our workforce to be our most important asset, and we value our people both as team members and as individuals. The stations are operated by Community Communications, Inc., based in Orlando. We are the primary providers of NPR and public media content in east Central Florida. We offer a full benefits package including health insurance, 401k, and generous paid time off. We embrace flexibility and offer remote work options for most positions.
Position Detail
The Emerging Journalists Fellowship is a full-time position running from August 2025 through July 2026. While most work will be done between the hours of 8-5 p.m. Monday through Friday, the fellow will need to be available for work outside of those hours and on weekends when needed. The ideal applicant is passionate about telling stories amplifying voices of people in traditionally underserved communities, understands the importance of journalistic ethics and is passionate about a career in public media.
Throughout the duration of the fellowship the person hired will be expected to file shortform spot news and longform stories for broadcast as well as multimedia stories for digital. The fellow will also learn to produce and host local segments of both Morning Edition and All Things Considered. As this is a fellowship, Central Florida Public Media is committed to providing professional development and mentorship.
