[ecrea] Ph.D. Fellowship in Research on Important Questions at the Intersection of the Media, Philanthropy and Democracy in the U.S.

             Ph.D. Fellowship in Research on Important Questions at the
             Intersection of the Media, Philanthropy and Democracy in the
             U.S.

     The *John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Doctoral Fellowship on
     Philanthropy, Media and Democracy* is a doctoral fellowship being
     offered by the Center for Strategic Philanthropy and Civil Society
     <http://cspcs.sanford.duke.edu/>and the DeWitt Wallace Center for
     Media and Democracy <http://dewitt.sanford.duke.edu/>in the Sanford
     School of Public Policy at Duke University.

     There has long been a dearth of research and writing on the media’s
     coverage of foundations, nonprofits, and individual donors – and in
     particular their impact on society, policy, and democracy. Likewise,
     there is virtually no thoughtful research and writing on how
     mainstream and new media discourse might best explore the role,
     successes, and shortcomings of the philanthropic enterprise. In a
     separate but related development, journalists and struggling media
     enterprises are increasingly turning to private donors to provide an
     alternative business model for news gathering and analysis.

     This fellowship is designed to further research and inform practice
     on questions at the intersection of the media, philanthropy, and
     democracy in the United States. The fellowship is aimed at producing
     a new generation of scholars who conduct original research on any
     important questions related to philanthropy and the media and to
     translate their findings for media and philanthropy, policymakers,
     and scholars.

     The term of this fellowship will be 1 to 3 years, beginning
     September 2017 through May. Qualified applicants who are interested
     in the fellowship should first apply for admission to the Ph.D.
     Program in Public Policy of the Sanford School of Public Policy.
     <http://sanford.duke.edu/admissions/phd>  The deadline for entry
     into the Ph.D. program is December 2016.
