Description
Omidyar Network’s Winter 2026 Reporters in Residence program offers experienced freelance journalists the opportunity to pursue deep, impactful reporting on the digital revolution and its societal impacts.
- Up to five selected reporters will receive a $50,000 package ($8,000/month stipend plus $2,000 travel budget) for a six-month residency focused on technology, policy, and digital society.
- Participants will develop, pitch, and publish one story per month, with access to Omidyar Network’s staff, grantees, and partners, while retaining full editorial independence.
- The program prioritizes coverage of U.S.-focused issues such as tech governance, digital inclusion, market concentration, worker power, and generative AI, but welcomes other relevant beats.
- Applicants must be active freelance journalists with at least five years of experience and current U.S. work authorization; visa sponsorship is not available.
