INMA selects 50 media professionals for Elevate Scholarships

 

Diversity and inclusion in the news media industry is the focus of the fifth annual Elevate Scholarship whose class of 50 media professionals was announced today by the International News Media Association (INMA).

Some 397 people applied for the Elevate Scholarship from 83 countries.

The Elevate Scholarship program is designed to strengthen the future of the news business by embracing and elevating historically under-represented and disadvantaged groups in early- to mid-level positions at news media companies in all regions of the world. These groups include ethnicities, genders, ages, sexual orientations, religions, disabilities, access to higher education, and more.

The scholarship recipients gain news industry business fundamentals that will propel their individual careers, with the bigger picture goal of infusing the industry with the talent it needs to face today’s challenging business landscape. 

“INMA is proud to continue to champion the inclusion and growth of under-represented professionals in the news media industry,” said Earl J. Wilkinson, executive director and CEO of INMA. “The news industry is stronger when we include perspectives that represent the communities we serve, engendering audience trust and growth.”

The scholarship includes free access to three INMA master classes in 2025 and a one-year INMA membership.
