Description
Founded in 1975, the Boston Review (formerly, the Boston Critic) is an independent, nonprofit magazine dedicated to political analysis, literary and cultural criticism, and more. In February 2021, the Boston Review launched the Black Voices in the Public Sphere Fellowship in an effort to confront the lack of diversity in publishing and to alleviate some of the institutional barriers that limit entry into the sector, including exclusive networks and low entry-level salaries. The fellowship supports the professional growth of aspiring media professionals through rigorous training in every aspect of publishing work—from identifying authors and stories, to acquisitions, web and print production, and promotion in digital and conventional media. With Corporation funding, the Boston Review will support two new media fellows through targeted mentorship, hands-on training, and production of the fellows’ independent projects.
