Minority Fellowship Opportunity with The Village Voice

For those interested who meet the criteria. If not, pass the word:

The Mary Wright Minority Fellowship

The Village Voice is taking applications for the fall 2008 Mary Wright Minority Fellowship. The Mary Wright fellowship is a fulltime, three-month writing job with the Voice that provides an opportunity to work alongside veteran Voice journalists. We're looking for recent college graduates with impressive clip files who can demonstrate that they have unique story ideas, excellent writing skills and a desire to do non-intuitive, deeply reported stories about New York City.

This position pays $500 per week, and applicants should be prepared to pitch several original story ideas in an interview. Send a cover letter, resume and recent writing samples to: Tony Ortega, Editor, Village Voice, 36 Cooper Square, NY, NY 10003 or to tortega@villagevoice.com. Questions about the fellowship may also be directed to former Mary Wright fellow and current Voice staff writer, ChloƩ A. Hilliard, at chilliard@villagevoice.com.

Good luck!
