Apply Now for International Reporting Fellowships

Sonja Matanovic from the International Reporting Project e-mailed to let us know about the upcoming April 1 deadline to apply for fellowships. If you have at least three years professional journalism experience and would like to work abroad, check out these opportunities:
The International Reporting Project (IRP) is pleased to announce that applications are being accepted for the Fall 2008 IRP Fellowships program. The IRP Fellowships program will run September 1 – October 25, 2008.
This year we are offering two types of IRP Fellowships for the fall program.
1. IRP FELLOWSHIPS IN INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISM
The International Reporting Project will offer up to four IRP Fellowships to U.S. journalists to carry out a project reporting from any country in the world outside of the United States. One of these Fellowships will be the “IRP/FRONTLINE World Fellowship” for video journalists, which will offer additional support through the PBS program FRONTLINE/World and a chance for the Fellow’s story to appear on that program’s web site and broadcast.
2. IRP/STANLEY FOUNDATION FELLOWSHIPS
The International Reporting Project will award up to four additional “IRP/Stanley Foundation Fellowships” that will run concurrently with the other fellowships from September 1 through October 25. These fellowships will be awarded to U.S. journalists of every level – including senior and highly experienced journalists – whose proposals focus on reporting projects in one of the following areas: South Africa, Russia, Japan, the European Union or any member country of the EU.
