Franklin Fellows

Posted on September 21, 2010 by lingfang

Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity, a leading national non-profit journalism organization, is proud to announce their Franklin Fellows program. This program pairs journalism students with working reporters at Capitol News Bureaus throughout the United States to produce quality journalism on local and state issues. By working with seasoned journalists, these students have the chance to get real world experience by learning first-hand how to conduct interviews, research and write quality stories.

By joining the Franklin Fellows Program, journalism students will not only be learning how to be a journalist but they will also be playing an important role in combating the growing decline of media presence at state capitols. An American Journalism Review study found that only 355 full-time newspaper reporters still are based state capitols; 44 statehouses have fewer full-time reporters than they did six years ago. These students will be making a difference by covering the important stories that the traditional media is no longer able to.

Humane Studies Fellowships

Posted on September 13, 2010 by lingfang

Humane Studies Fellowships are awarded to graduate students and outstanding undergraduates planning academic careers with liberty-advancing research interests.

The fellowships are open to students in a range of fields, such as economics, philosophy, law, political science, anthropology, and literature.

The program began in 1983 as the Claude R. Lambe Fellowships, and in 2010 we awarded more than 190 fellowships ranging from $2,000 to $15,000.

Past fellows have researched a variety of topics that explore historical and contemporary ideas that maximize freedom of action and support the rule of law:

  • market-based approaches to environmental policy
  • the legal development of privacy and property rights in 18th-century England
  • the role of patient autonomy in bioethics
  • impediments to economic growth in developing countries
  • the relationship between U.S. presidential politics, fiscal policies, and economic performance
  • Review the research interests of the 2010 fellows

Research and Discussion Colloquia

Select winners are invited to present and discuss their research at the annual Research Colloquium and to attend the Friedrich Hayek Discussion Colloquium. Learn more.

Fellows also join a network of more than 10,000 IHS academics committed to the ideas of liberty and intellectual freedom.

HIS Journalism Intern Program

Posted on September 13, 2010 by lingfang

The IHS Journalism Internship Program places aspiring journalists who support liberty at media companies and non-profit investigative newsrooms. Talented writers and communicators have the opportunity to learn or improve their journalism skills and expand their professional network. Opportunities are offered year-round, during the spring, summer, and fall.

Journalists can advance liberty by producing balanced stories incorporating the ideas of individual rights, free markets, and peace. Journalists can draw on these ideas when choosing which stories to cover and how to report breaking stories. An IHS intern who understands spontaneous order and public choice theory will produce stories far different and more unique than a journalist steeped in the notion of central planning by altruistic, government officials.

If you have an eye for news and want to get the story and if you believe individual rights precede government, then start or enhance your journalism career with an internship through the IHS Journalism Internship Program. Past interns have worked at 20/20, the Orange County Register, Reason.TV, Fox News, and many other companies and organizations.  

Application Deadlines

Spring: November 15, 2010
Summer: January 31, 2011
Fall: TBA (application online in 2011
