Become A Glimpse Correspondent

Calling all aspiring international journalists! National Geographic Glimpse is launching a correspondents program that will enable a few talented writers, videographers, and photographers to contribute to the Glimpse magazine and website while they live or study abroad.

Want to learn more? Here are some easy answers to the big questions (And we know what you're thinking: Yes, you will be paid.)

What is Glimpse?
Glimpse is a new nonprofit National Geographic platform (print magazine and website) about the experiences of young Americans abroad. They provide professional editorial support to help students learn the craft of storytelling, with the larger goal of using stories to inspire others to care about the world. Glimpse has offered students a platform for their stories for the past six years. Now with National Geographic, the magazine is hoping to take its work to the next level. To read past stories, visit www.glimpse.org.

What is the Correspondents Program?
The Correspondents Program is for especially talented students specializing in writing, photography, or video. They will select 15 correspondents, and each will receive a $600 stipend, the help of a professional editor, and guaranteed publication in Glimpse (exceptional pieces may also be featured in other National Geographic platforms). The demands of the program are not extreme, but we do expect our correspondents program to commit to a professional editorial process.

How can I get involved?
Students should visit www.glimpse.org/correspondents and register their e-mail address to receive the official application announcement, which will go out in mid-May.
