News Creator Corps is accepting applications for its Trusted Creator Fellowship — a short-term program providing training, partnership, and a $5,000 stipend to US-based creators who inform their communities. The fellowship teaches fact-checking, sourcing, and interviewing skills to creators already serving a specific audience, whether that is restaurant openings, public health, parenting discussions, or local stories. Any platform counts: Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, Substack, YouTube. A previous fellow described the networking with alumni and the caliber of trainers as invaluable alongside the cash support. Deadline is August 17, tomorrow.
