Student Stories
CLMI Fellowship
The Civic Literacy & Media Influence Fellowship:
A Paid Journalism Fellowship for Current Students & Alumni.
The Learn4Life, Civic Literacy & Media Influence Fellowship is a 12-week course teaching students – through experiential, project-based and lecture modules – fundamentals in journalism, editorial “narrative” and storytelling.
This course explores how the intersection of media, persuasion, political process, and governing institutions – an intersection known as “advocacy” – completely shapes public discourse to mold and create public policy.
Through conversations, lectures, and experiential/practitioner learning, students will understand the very impactful role of media technologies, practices, and formats in transforming consequential public discourse, political narrative, and policymaking. Students will also learn, and be exposed to, the relationship between media and public affairs institutions, specifically political and governing institutions.
