Beginning to midcareer journalists interested in digital media can apply apply for a three-week program in the United States.
The International Center for Journalists offers fellowships for two journalists from Latin America to improve their digital skills in specialty reporting in areas such as immigration, environment, science and technology or business.
The 2017 Douglas Tweedale Memorial Fellowship runs from Oct. 25 to Nov. 10. The fellowship begins with a three-day orientation in Washington, followed by a two-week assignment in the newsroom of an English-language media organization in the United States, where they will conduct reporting in a specialty area or on a specific project they have proposed in their application.
Applicants should outline what specialized topical area of reporting they want to strengthen and what technical skills they want to improve. They must demonstrate enough proficiency in the English language to function and work in an English-language environment.
The deadline is Aug 8.
