APPLICATION DEADLINES:
The deadlines for the summer and fall 2024 sessions have passed. Applicants who applied for fall will hear back with a decision soon.
You may apply for both programs. Due to the limited number of spots, students can only participate in one of the sessions.
This is a highly competitive program and we can only accept a select few candidates due to the limited size. If we are unable to offer you a reporting internship, we encourage you to reapply for future sessions, and to continue your pursuit of journalism. If you have questions about CLARIFY or the application process, please contact info@clarifynews.org.
