Journalism Training Workshop Offered in India
The Reuters Foundation, in collaboration with the Iowa-based Stanley Foundation, is accepting applications from US journalists to participate in an all-expense-paid journalism training workshop in Mumbai, India, April 21-25.
The weeklong course will pair six American journalists with six Indian journalists in a workshop aimed at helping reporters develop their international news writing skills with a specific emphasis on US and Indian audiences.
Guest speakers, reporting field trips, and classroom training will be an integral part of the workshop. India’s rise as a global power and connections to US communities will be explored with reporting on Bollywood; outsourced call centers; poverty; and growing Indian political, media, and business linkages to the world.
The course is aimed at full-time reporters from the United States and India with a minimum of three years experience in journalism. Economy-class airfare, hotel accommodations and some meals will be provided.
This professional development course is intended to be a perspective-widening experience. Participating US journalists will be expected to file stories based on the reporting they conduct in India.
The deadline to apply is March 1. Participants will be selected by The Reuters Foundation. For more information and application guidelines, visit www.reuterslink.org/courses/winstanleyF.htm.
