World Press Institute is offering journalism fellowship
for international journalist working outside of the United States with
at least five years of professional journalistic experience in any
medium. The program usually begins in mid-August and end in
mid-October. Ten fellowships will be awarded to cover all program costs,
including transportation to the U.S. and back, all transportation
within the U.S. related to the WPI program and all lodging costs. In
addition, a modest daily per Diem for food is provided. Online
applications should be submitted by February 15, 2014.
About Scholarship: The WPI fellowship is offered to 10 journalists from countries around the world. It provides immersion into the governance, politics, business, media, journalistic ethics and culture of the United States for experienced international journalists, through a demanding schedule of study, travel and interviews throughout the country. The program usually begins in mid-August and end in mid-October. The fellows will spend three weeks in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, and then travel to several U.S. cities, including New York and Washington, D.C., for briefings, interviews and visits. They will return to Minnesota for the final week of the program. See the Program Review for examples of WPI events. Journalism — in particular, the role and responsibilities of a free press in a democracy— is the primary focus of the WPI fellowship program. First-hand knowledge of the complexity and diversity of life in the U.S. is an equally important goal. Access is the key. Over the term of the fellowship, WPI fellows gain access to a broad range of individuals and institutions ranging from the world renowned to the ordinary.
