Fellowships offer opportunities for journalists to rethink their careers, significantly expand their knowledge and skills, dedicate themselves to in-depth research projects, and build their professional networks. Many of Latin America’s most successful journalists have gone through these programs, making them highly coveted and competitive. At this time of year, there are multiple opportunities with applications open for 2025 and 2026. As we do every year at LatAm Journalism Review, we’ve compiled a list of programs available to journalists in Latin America. The programs range from opportunities for students and early-career professionals to initiatives for those who have been in the field for many years. Some programs are short-term, while others last almost an entire year. In most cases, proficiency in English is require. Selection processes that do not yet have dates, such as the Reuters Institute fellowship at the University of Oxford, which opens applications in January, or the World Press Institute fellowship, which begins selection in December, have not been included on the list. Not all programs accept applicants from all countries, and some list criteria such as age limits or minimum or maximum experience. We’ve also included reporting grants and other opportunities. The list below is organized based on the application deadlines, from earliest latest. We recommend that anyone interested in applying visit the official program websites for more details.

O comentário de um leitor desencadeou uma investiga??o jornalística que levou às pris?es de 36 candidatos às elei??es municipais no Brasil, marcadas para o dia 6 de outubro. Alvos de mandados de pris?o por acusa??es diversas – de dívidas de pens?o a homicídio –, esses candidatos estavam fazendo campanha nas ruas e nas redes sociais. “Recebemos uma denúncia de que um candidato estava foragido por estupro de vulnerável. Fomos atrás e n?o encontramos nada que confirmasse essa informa??o. Só que, a partir dali, pensamos ‘ok, ele n?o está foragido, mas será que tem candidatos foragidos?’”, disse a repórter do g1 Camila da Silva à LatAm Journalism Review (LJR). Um leitor deixou essa denúncia em uma das 5.569 matérias automatizadas que o G1 publicou com as listas de candidatos para cada município brasileiro. Ele levou Silva e a repórter Judite Cypreste a realizar uma investiga??o, baseada em jornalismo de dados, que identificou 63 candidatos com mandados de pris?o pendentes. Segundo Silva, o editor Vitor Sorano sugeriu que Cypreste e ela fizessem essa investiga??o cruzando os dados do Banco Nacional de Mandados de Pris?o (BNMP), mantido pelo Conselho Nacional de Justi?a (CNJ), com as informa??es disponíveis no portal de Divulga??o de Candidaturas e Contas Eleitorais (DivulgaCand), mantido pelo Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE). “Eu já tinha experiência com o BNMP e sabia que ele tinha alguns problemas”, disse Cypreste à LJR. “Você tem que baixar os mandados de pris?o por estado, porque n?o tem como baixar nacionalmente. Aí travou em S?o Paulo, que n?o consegui baixar porque há um limite de 30 mil linhas por download e S?o Paulo tem mais de 60 mil mandados de pris?o em aberto.” Enquanto Cypreste conversava com o CNJ para conseguir os dados de S?o Paulo, ela come?ou a análise com os dados dos outros estados usando a linguagem de programa??o Python. Daí surgiram os primeiros nomes em comum nas bases de mandados e de candidatos, que já indicavam a existência de dezenas de candidatos procurados pela Justi?a.
