Deadline: 28-Sep-20
The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism has two scholarships for journalists from India, Brazil, the UK, or the US, who would like to spend with us the first 6 months of 2021.
In 2021, they will grant two fellowships to mid-career journalists who have ideas for ways to enhance trust in the news media.
Your idea might be something new you wish to implement in your newsroom when you return, or it may be a new initiative you’d like to launch.
The successful applicants will join the Journalism Fellowship at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford University for six months.
This means you will have access to Oxford libraries, the full wealth of research data and specialists at the Reuters Institute, and a cohort of top journalists from around the world with which you can share and develop your ideas.
You will be given a stipend to cover your food and accommodation and will be able to spend time researching, developing, and testing your idea before presenting and publishing your findings. Your travel to Oxford and back home will be covered, and they will provide support in the visa process.
Eligible Applicants
- They are inviting journalists from the U.S., UK, India, or Brazil who has at least five years’ experience in the newsroom to apply.
Applications should include:
- A 600-word summary of the idea you believe will enhance trust in the news media
- A 2- to 3-page CV including contact details for three references, and links to recent work
- A one-page statement explaining who you are and why you would like to join us
- These can be submitted in PDF, Word, or Rich Text Format.
