We’re excited to share a unique opportunity for emerging and established journalists who want to launch a YouTube channel but may lack the time, training, or financial resources to get it off the ground.

Collective.Media is launching a six-month accelerator that sponsors journalists from traditional and nontraditional backgrounds as they learn to produce high quality, impactful news video content, and build sustainable, trustworthy, independent brands on YouTube.

As part of the accelerator program, ten U.S.-based journalists will be selected to receive support across channel and audience development strategy, as well as hands-on training in production, editing, on-camera storytelling from Collective Media’s team of media industry veterans.

Whether you’ve never had a YouTube channel, your channel is nascent, or its growth has stalled, we’d love to hear from you. If you’re ready to publish consistently, experiment creatively, and grow a loyal, informed audience — apply at www.CollectiveYouTube.com.

Deadline to apply is: December 22.
