Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) Kosovo in cooperation with Association of Journalists of Kosovo (AJK), as part of the project funded by the EU, has opened the call for applications for the second phase of the “Kosovo Fellowship for Journalistic Excellence” program for the year 2019.
BIRN Kosovo and AJK are currently inviting all interested journalists to apply to the 6 months fellowship, provided by the European Union in Kosovo.
Benefits
- 10 ambitious and daring journalists will be selected by a team of local and regional professionals to become part of this dynamic and enriching experience. Each fellow will be granted a 2,000 euro fellowship bursary for an in-depth research story covering issues such as public spending, local governance, public procurement, environment, energy, healthcare, culture, education, media financing, human rights, inter-ethnic cooperation, etc.
- In addition, the selected journalists will receive mentorship by a team of highly-skilled BIRN Kosovo editors, who have extensive experience in producing and editing high-quality reporting in Kosovo and the region.
At the end of the programme, fellows are expected to have produced an original research/investigative story with a limit of 1,500 – 3,000 words. The format may vary from written articles to TV reportages or content presented in a multimedia format. Stories of the selected fellows will be published in Albanian, Serbian and English.
