Warren T. Brookes Journalism Fellowship
The Competitive Enterprise Institute offers a one-year fellowship for journalists seeking to improve their knowledge of the principles of free markets and limited government. The fellowship is named in honor of the late Warren T. Brookes (1929-1991), a nationally syndicated columnist known for his tradition of reporting from a sound scientific and economic perspective.
CEI established the Warren T. Brookes Fellowship to inspire new generations of journalists to learn from Brookes’s legacy and to benefit from CEI’s free market, public policy environment. Through the fellowship program, CEI identifies both talented young people and experienced journalists who wish to improve their knowledge of policy issues and free market economics. The fellowship provides an opportunity for young writers to hone their skills while immersing themselves in public policy issues. For more experienced journalists, the fellowship affords a chance to work on longer projects, such as books, or in-depth investigative pieces, without the pressure of regular deadlines.
Previous Warren T. Brookes Fellows have included columnist Michael Fumento, Reason Magazine senior editor Brian Doherty and science correspondent Ron Bailey, syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin, Washington Examiner columnist Timothy Carney, and bestselling author James Bovard.
Applicants should submit a proposal for a year-long project that is related to CEI’s issue advocacy work, along with résumé, cover letter,and writing samples (op-eds and articles).
