The Walrus is currently accepting applications for The Walrus Editorial Fellowship. This paid one-year educational fellowship begins Monday, June 17, 2024. One editorial fellowship position is currently available.

Editorial fellows’ primary responsibility is to fact-check print and online stories that The Walrus publishes. Our fact checkers verify everything from broad claims to small details, such as dates and the spellings of names, using both interviewed and gathered sources. Fellows also have the opportunity to attend story meetings, contribute to editorial-planning sessions, and shadow-edit articles. They have access to seminars led by the editors, staff, and contributors to The Walrus, which include in-depth training in fact-checking and sessions on topics including copy editing, long-form editing, and feature writing. In addition to gaining journalistic training, editorial fellows will be able to participate in non-editorial aspects of the organization, such as online events.
