100 Days Initiative Seeks Media Fellows

Bard's 100 Days initiative brings Bard faculty, staff, students, and surrounding communities together in a set of informal, self-directed working groups focused on four themes: immigration, gender, climate, and government institutions. As the new presidential administration begins, the initiative assigns media fellows to coordinate and disseminate accurate news and information that keep abreast of legislative developments and other news related to the above themes with the primary goal of expanding civic literacy.   

What do Media Fellows Do?
Media Fellows will be responsible for disseminating accurate and well-researched materials that identify and track proposed federal, state, and local legislation, executive orders, and other actions. The goal is to help the Bard community understand how federal, state, and local governments interact. 

Basic Media Fellow duties might include:
-Produce weekly multimedia pieces focused on their theme that accurately reflect facts on the ground in Washington, Albany, and Dutchess County tracking government actions from the federal to local levels
-Attend regular briefing meetings with administrators and faculty from the Center for Civic Engagement, Human Rights Project, Council for Inclusive Excellence, and other Bard programs/departments
-Develop campaigns that debunk disinformation
-Table in Kline, the Campus Center, and other locations in order to answer community questions and raise awareness about their theme
-Provide briefs on pending legislation related to their theme
-Develop multimedia resources identifying areas for action related to their theme

Applicants will need to submit a resume and writing sample, along with sample social media content (blog posts, videos, promotional material, etc.), via the form below.

Successful candidates will earn a semester stipend of $850 with the potential to continue the fellowship beyond the spring.
