The Allbritton Journalism Institute is a non-profit organization backed by a $20 million grant from Robert Allbritton, the founding publisher of Politico. AJI aims to restore journalism’s role in our national conversation by fostering a new generation of reporters, from a wide variety of backgrounds and perspectives, who produce work that Americans trust. Every September, AJI welcomes a cohort of 10 early-career reporters to D.C. for a two-year fellowship. Fellows are paid $60,000 per year to take classes with some of the country’s best journalists and to write for our publication, NOTUS, where they work alongside a staff of established reporters and editors to write objective, non-partisan stories about politics, policy and government.
