USC Annenberg awards fellowships, health data reporting grants to 16 journalists
Sixteen journalists from around the nation are at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism this week to take part in the Center for Health Journalism’s 2018 Data Fellowship. The highly selective program, which began Oct. 17, helps reporters gain investigative data skills through an intensive four-day series of workshops. It also provides six months of one-on-one mentoring — guided by some of the best data journalists in the country — and grants of $2,000–$4,000 to help underwrite reporting.
