What is the Kiplinger Fellowship? A coveted Kiplinger Fellowship is a gateway to improving your skills and value as a professional journalist.
The Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism at Ohio University trains professional journalists in ways to create more dynamic and comprehensive coverage of the issues facing us today. Started in 1972 with a generous donation from the Kiplinger family in memory of patriarch Willard Kiplinger, a 1912 graduate of Ohio State University, and the founder of Kiplinger Newsletter and Kiplinger Personal Finance magazine, the program marks 50 years in 2022. The fellowship is intended for professional journalists with at least five years of experience. It is not for academics, students, or those in other branches of communications. Once a 12-month sabbatical program with a master's degree at OSU, it has evolved over time. From 2009 until 2021 the program focused on digital tools and technology and trained more than 4,000 journalists in that span. Beginning in 2014, Kiplinger started taking its training methods on the road internationally. Since then, Kip has been in 10 counties offering a variety of training to international reporters, editors and producers. Additionally, Kiplinger has presented often at U.S. national journalism conferences since 2005. As we hit 50 years, Kiplinger is once again making changes to its fellowship. Today, there are growing, monumental issues that require extraordinary skills and resolve for proper coverage. Kiplinger will focus each year on one of these primary issues that indelibly mark our lives, whether its climate change, poverty, human rights, pandemics, drug crises, human trafficking, wealth inequity, government transparency, etc.

The first step in starting a Kiplinger Fellowship is adding a folder to my email account. The 2027 fellowship folder is ready. Conversations with venues is already taking place.
The theme for next spring is critical reporting for business journalism.
Nearly every aspect of our lives centers on the economy. But, it's massively confusing to the public - taxes, stock markets, inflation, tariffs, GDP, unemployment, job creations, consumer confidence, on and on.
Accurate and meaningful business journalism is more important than ever. How can we make it better, simpler and rewarding for our audiences? If that sounds like something that excites you, get ready.
Look for applications to open in October.
