The Creative Journalism Fellowship is a new arts and cultural mentorship program by ArtsHub and supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.

Designed to bridge the gap between study and professional journalism experience for emerging arts journalists and writers in NSW. 

 

Over a six-month period, 10 participants will gain real-world journalism experience as they are mentored and trained by ArtsHub’s award-winning, experienced journalists, editors and media industry leaders. 

 

The following articles are published as part of ArtsHub’s Creative Journalism Fellowship, an initiative supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.
