Neo4j's CEO, Emil Eifrem, has announced a data journalism fellowship program to complement the company's existing Data Journalism Accelerator Program. The inaugural year of the Neo4j Connected Data Fellowship will be piloted through the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), with the ICIJ maintaining complete editorial independence and control over the fellow's work and topics covered. The six-month fellowship, sponsored by Neo4j, aims to support a data journalist or programmer in making sense of complex data and finding stories within networks, favoring candidates from diverse backgrounds. Applications for the program are currently open, with a deadline of June 1.
