Deadline: 19 July 2019
Thomson Reuters Foundation has announced the Exploring Corporate Impact Programme for journalists with a minimum five years’ experience from a range of outlets and disciplines.
This is a unique opportunity to develop applicants investigative and analytical skills looking at sustainability in a corporate context.
Companies are coming under increasing scrutiny and more effectively being held to account for their actions with enhanced access to a wealth of information on their respective sustainability strategies. Thorough research can uncover stories relating to the political, economic, social and environmental impacts of their work.
This intensive three-day workshop aims to provide journalists with the information, tools and strategies to understand the complexities of sustainability and enable them to better report through the lens of sustainability.
They are particularly keen to find participants based in Manila, where the course will take place.
- Selected candidates (and who attend the full three-day course) will be invited to the UNGC-GRI Sustainability Summit on 20 August and to a round table discussion with reporters on 21 August
- Candidates who successfully complete the full three-day course will receive a certificate of completion from the Thomson Reuters Foundation and the Global Reporting Initiative
Funding
- This programme is supported by GRI.
- If candidates are based outside Manila, travel and accommodation will not be covered. The course itself will be fully-funded and free of charge to the participant.
Eligibility Criteria
- Journalists working in any medium may apply – print, radio, TV, online.
- Journalists must be fluent in English.
