Chicago Booth 2025 Journalists in Residence Program

Published: 13 Aug 2024

 With the aim of shaping the next generation of leaders in business reporting, we launched the Stigler Center’s Journalists in Residence Program in 2017. The program provides a transformative learning experience for journalists working in all forms of media around the world. Participants spend approximately 12 weeks on our Hyde Park campus, auditing classes, participating in Stigler Center events, collaborating with peers, and networking with the university’s scholars.

Journalists with some years of media experience, proficient English, and an interest in deepening their knowledge and understanding of political economy are encouraged to apply.

Applications are being accepted soon for the Spring 2025 program, which will run from approximately March 19 – May 31, 2025.
