The Knight Science Journalism program[1] (styled as "KSJ@MIT") offers 9-month research fellowships, based at its headquarters at the MIT School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, to elite staff and freelance journalists specializing in coverage of science and technology, medicine, or the environment. Fellows are chosen from an international application pool in a competitive process each spring, and reside in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for two semesters of audited coursework and research at MIT, Harvard, and surrounding institutions.
The program is directed by Deborah Blum.[2]
KSJ@MIT has hosted more than 300 fellows from a wide range of national and international publications, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Time, Scientific American, Science, the Associated Press, ABC News, and CNN.[3]
Eligible applicants can work for print, broadcast or the web as reporters, writers, editors, or producers.[4]
In 2016, the program launched an editorially independent digital science magazine called Undark.[5]
