The Poynter Fellowship in Journalism at Yale brings distinguished journalists and members of the media to campus to interact with students, faculty, and the public. By way of lectures, panels, seminar discussions, and informal meetings, Poynter aims to provide a cultivated look at topics of interest from all possible perspectives. For the fall semester, visitors will not be allowed to come to Yale in an effort to reduce the risk of bringing cases of COVID-19 to campus. In-person classes, meetings, and social gatherings will be limited, and if possible, events should be hosted remotely. While this is not the typical approach to hosting a fellow, we encourage faculty and students to explore virtual opportunities for creating meaningful, educational, and inspiring journalist visits. The Poynter Fellowship Committee will review all proposals from faculty members and student organizations. Once the committee approves a proposal, the Poynter Fellowship will notify the sponsor of the approved funding so they may begin coordinating the visit. To submit a proposal, please fill out the fields below and submit.
