The Pulitzer Center Reporting Fellowship is open to undergraduate and graduate students in any discipline currently enrolled at UW-Madison, and provides up to $5,000 in funding for students to pursue an international reporting project. The reporting project is generally undertaken in the summer with an expectation that fellows spend at least two weeks in their research location.
Pulitzer Center Reporting Fellows at Campus Consortium partners pursue independent journalism projects that cover a wide range of issues in countries around the world and in the United States, including climate change, migration and refugees, global health, race and identity, and human rights. Reporting Fellows benefit from Pulitzer Center mentorship, networking opportunities, and journalism resources. Most importantly, they become part of a vibrant community.

Senior Audrey Thibert attends the Pulitzer Center Reporting Fellows Conference – October 13th-15th 2023 Washington, D.C.
UW-Madison Senior Audrey Thibert joined over 40 other Pulitzer Center Reporting Fellows in Washington, D.C. for the Pulitzer Center’s 9th annual Washington Weekend. The three days of learning and community building centered around the work of Reporting Fellows from across the United States reporting on issues from global health and climate change to gender and LGBTQ+ equality. Audrey presented her project “A Shared Uncertainty: Migration Stories from Tunisia” and took questions from the audience at a Saturday afternoon panel on Peace and Conflict.
Audrey’s attendance and participation at Washington Weekend provided far more than just the opportunity to present her research. As she noted, “Washington Weekend was a formative experience for me as a journalist and as a person,” adding that “the most valuable part of the weekend was bonding with the other professional and student journalists and hearing them speak about their work. It was inspiring to see how passionate the fellows were about their own projects, but also how deeply engaged we were with each other’s work. I walked away knowing I had found a strong community of young journalists who, like me, are eager to report on important topics. It was refreshing to be surrounded by this tangible enthusiasm and support.”
