The 19th, a nonprofit newsroom that covers politics through a gender lens, is launching a fellowship for graduates of historically Black colleges and universities with support from Nikole Hannah-Jones and Howard University.
The fellowship program, which is named after “mother of African American journalism” Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, will place five HBCU graduates in one-year, salaried positions at The 19th. Those fellows will also receive “advisory support” from Hannah-Jones, Howard’s Knight Chair in Race and Journalism.
