The next Women’s eNews Loreen Arbus Accessibility is Fundamental Fellowship begins July 7, 2025.

Women’s eNews teams with The Loreen Arbus Foundation, EIN SOF Communications, Inc., and Lights! Camera! Access! (LCA) to create this opportunity for two aspiring journalists who identify as female.
A disability-savvy select group of judges with disabilities will review applications submitted by individuals applying for the two Fellowships.

Women’s eNews trains two Fellows who identify as female to research, report, edit, and post their work on their website. Two articles/month will be published (one from each Fellow) per our editorial calendar to illuminate intersectionality of women and disability. Finalists will be selected as Interns for LCA.

A digital compendium of the published work will be compiled, designed, and distributed at the end of each year. The compilation will also be distributed to the Women’s eNews subscription list of 50,000, promoted on social media - Facebook, LinkedIn, and X (75,000 followers), and posted on Women’s eNews website (reaching 3.5 million each year).
What folks are saying…..

“Having worked under Lori Sokol, Executive Director and Editor-in-Chief of Women's eNews Fellowship program, I gained valuable insight into covering disability content. Taking part in the Women's eNews Fellowship is highly recommended. "- Tree Lowe
