Trusted Creator Training Fellowship

As the new trusted voices of our time, content creators have both an outsized influence on shaping public opinion, as well as an outsized responsibility to get the information they are delivering to their audiences right. News Creator Corps’ flagship program is a training fellowship for information-focused content creators. Our cohorts are made up of independent creators who provide a service to their community, whether that’s restaurant openings, public health information, parenting discussions, or local stories. The fellowship teaches tactical skills like fact-checking, sourcing, and interviewing to ensure the creators are disseminating accurate information and connects content creators with news organizations, nonprofits, and other institutions to expand the reach of accurate and trustworthy information.

Fellows have access to lively discussion forums with program directors and colleagues to brainstorm ideas, troubleshoot questions, and enjoy camaraderie. Fellows receive a $5,000 stipend and will be eligible for additional compensation through paid creator programs with NCC news organization, nonprofit, and public relations partners.

​Please subscribe to our weekly newsletter to be alerted when the next round of applications open later this year. We expect to expand the program to include high school students, college students, and newsroom staffers in 2026.
