Fellowships

Journalism Fellowship, International Center for Journalists
Information:
 The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) and Malaria No More have created a new program called “Covering Malaria Elimination in Africa: A Fellowship for U.S. Journalists.” The program will give seven U.S. journalists the opportunity to travel to Tanzania for a five-day study tour. Journalists will come away with a deeper understanding of what strategies have led to the progress on malaria, and what it will take to end the disease for good. Journalists should be working for a print, online and/or broadcast news outlet in one of the following capacities: based in the United States and working full time for a local or international news outlet; working as a foreign correspondent for a U.S. outlet; or working as a freelancer who publishes in U.S. outlets
Deadline:
