Founded in 1999, New America’s Fellows Program invests in great thinkers—journalists, scholars, filmmakers, and public policy analysts—who generate big, bold ideas that have an impact and spark new conversations about today’s most pressing issues.
Fellows go on to produce books, films, longform articles, and podcasts as a component of their fellowship.
