Deadline: 23-Apr-23
Kosovo 2.0 is now accepting applications for the Journalism Hub Fellowship 2023.
Young journalists and those that have just started their career, if you have a topic that is related to human rights and you have always wanted to cover, but didn’t have the time, the financial support or mentorship, then the Fellowship Program is the right opportunity for you.
Together with the next fellows, they want to address issues related to human rights and highlight the narratives, stories and experiences that are often ignored, the voices that are often silenced and the challenges that are often not addressed. They want to challenge discriminatory norms and divisive narratives, through new and inclusive perspectives and approaches.
Benefits
- This year, five journalists will receive financial support of 2,500 euros and ongoing mentoring from experienced editors in the field of human rights. Also, the fellows will participate in specialized training for covering issues related to human rights and about different creative formats, to bring their stories to the public.
What do they expect from you?
- Fellows will be expected to produce a piece of in-depth journalism (up to 4,000 words), a short movie/documentary/video (10 to 20 minutes) or a photo-essay with a human rights perspective — if you have ideas for other journalistic formats, they welcome them.
- The fellows will work closely with K2.0 editors to conduct their research. The proposals they expect to accept must directly address human rights in Kosovo, including but not limited to gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, minority rights, civil rights, workers’ rights, environmental issues. Their investigations will be published in the online magazine.
Eligibility Criteria
- In order to participate in the Journalism Hub Fellowship program, you must be:
- a young journalist, independent or freelancer, employed or unemployed,
- a citizen of Kosovo and based in Kosovo,
- between the ages of 18 and 35, and
- with at least two years of demonstrated experience in journalism.
