The Art of Journalism

In this era of fast news and free content, a new model of support is needed for journalists who dedicate their lives to telling complex stories that have the power to change our lives and make our society better. The Art of Journalism initiative will strengthen MacDowell’s ability to support groundbreaking voices in non-fiction; like those of James Baldwin, Shane Bauer, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Frances FitzGerald, Sheri Fink, William Finnegan, Adrian Nicole Leblanc, and others, all MacDowell Fellows who are publishing new work across a diverse range of formats and publications. With The Art of Journalism initiative, MacDowell is investing $2 million in Fellowships for journalists and long-form non-fiction authors, as well as providing journalism project grants, while helping to link a new network of publishers, non-profit newsrooms, and other key players in the journalism community to MacDowell’s artist community.
