(Meet last year’s class) \n\n\n\nAHCJ is once again collaborating with the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing and the Society of Environmental Journalists to offer this development opportunity to early-career journalists. \n\n\n\nThe fellowships are designed to support early-career journalists who are pursuing — or have a strong interest in pursuing — careers in science\, health or environmental reporting (or all three). \n\n\n\nThe program is primarily aimed at journalists in their first decade of professional work\, who are interested in boosting their ability and confidence to tackle some of the most important stories of the 21st century. \n\n\n\nThe program allows fellows to maintain their regular employment while attending intensive training opportunities across the country\, many of which will lead to stories for their employer or clients. Fellowship leaders and mentors will provide support and guidance through seminars\, calls and e-mail consultations. \n\n\n\nCurriculum will include basic science\, interpreting medical studies\, analyzing data\, explaining evidence-based decisions\, understanding climate science and more. \n\n\n\nThe program aspires to provide essential on-the-job training that might otherwise take years to accumulate. \n\n\n\nExpectations\n\n\n\nCandidates should be early-career\, U.S.-based working journalists — either staff or freelance — with at least two years of professional experience. \n\n\n\nFellows will be expected to attend a handful of training events during the program year. Program leaders will decide whether events will take place in person or virtually based on the latest public health considerations\, with fellows’ safety always top of mind. \n\n\n\nEach employer (or\, for a freelancer\, a news outlet that is a regular client) will be asked to provide a letter of recommendation for the applicant. Employers are also asked to pledge their support for the fellows’ participation in all training events. \n\n\n\nBoard members and staffers of the partner organizations are not eligible to apply. \n\n\n\nCASW\, AHCJ\, and SEJ are fully committed to diversity and inclusion in their memberships\, training programs\, and the larger journalism field.

SUMMARY:After “Hidden Valley Road:” A conversation with author Robert Kolker
DESCRIPTION:1 p.m. CT Wednesday\, Nov. 2 \nWhen journalist Robert Kolker first learned about the Galvin family through a colleague’s introduction to one of the family members\, he didn’t know whether their story had all the elements needed to become a book until he began the reporting. The narrative that unfolded—a family in which six of the 10 sons developed schizophrenia—provided a compelling framework for exploring the history of schizophrenia research from its discovery through the present day. \nThe result\, the highly acclaimed “Hidden Valley Road\,” has continued to have an impact even two years after its 2020 publication\, particularly in addressing the stigma associated with schizophrenia. Kolker will discuss how the book came about\, his realization that it could be a book\, how he found and wove medical research into his narrative\, and what the book’s current impact has been for both the Galvin family and the understanding of schizophrenia more broadly. \nView the webcast \nRobert Kolker \nTara Haelle \nRobert Kolker is the author of “Hidden Valley Road\,” an instant #1 New York Times bestseller and selection of Oprah’s Book Club; and “Lost Girls\,” also a New York Times bestseller and New York Times Notable Book. He is a National Magazine Award finalist whose journalism has appeared in the New York Times Magazine\, Wired\, O\, the Oprah Magazine\, the Marshall Project\, Bloomberg Businessweek\, and New York magazine. \n  \n
