USC's Annenberg School for Communication is calling for applications for its national health journalism seminars – application deadline is March 3 for the April 13-18 seminar. Based in Los Angeles, The California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships are open to professional print, broadcast and multimedia journalists from around the country who have a passion for health news.
Participants receive free tuition, meals, travel to seminar locations and lodging for fellows. The program offers a $2,000 reporting stipend upon completion of major fellowship projects and it flies out editors for a special editor-fellow workshop. To encourage collaboration, the Annenberg School will award $4,000 in reporting stipends to teams of journalists from mainstream and ethnic media whose project would be expected to appear in both media outlets.
