UFCJC student journalist chosen for prestigious ASU Inclusive Excellence in Journalism Fellowship
Genesis Trujillo, University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications Journalism senior was one of six students selected for the inaugural class of Arizona State University’s (ASU) Inclusive Excellence in Journalism (IEJ) Fellowship.
The fellows will be immersed in many aspects of investigative reporting, including how to develop strong story ideas, how to approach research, understanding the basics of data journalism, learning the art of conducting good interviews, the dos and don’ts of artificial intelligence (AI), multimedia storytelling, how to organize stories and more.
Participants must be able to juggle their semester studies to complete the demanding curriculum, doing assignments and attending weekly zoom sessions. It also requires being able to travel for an in-person meeting during the summer of 2026 and near the end of the fall 2026 semester.
The Scripps Howard Foundation will cover all expenses associated with the fellowship program – including the Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) conference in Washington, D.C. from June-18-22, IRE student membership, the fall course and travels and accommodations. The formal curriculum will begin at the start of ASU’s fall semester on August 20, 2026.
