The Judy and John McCarter Family Fellowship Program offers a recent college graduate the opportunity for hands-on work in research, writing, reporting and producing for WTTW News, wttw.com/news and the Chicago Tonight television program.

WTTW News is a premier public media source for Chicago news focusing specifically on politics, education, business, culture, science/technology and health coverage.
