Deadline: 28 October 2019
The Thomson Reuters Foundation is accepting applications for its Investigative Sports Reporting programme for journalists in Africa who want to report on how sport is run in their own country or wider region. This is an opportunity provided by the Sport and Society programme.
Participating journalists will work on a specific story idea and develop this during an intensive workshop in Lagos. The workshop will also cover investigative techniques, storytelling approaches, and more. They will then receive editorial guidance and mentoring support to help them make their story solid and engaging.
Participating journalists will also be eligible to apply for modest funding to help cover the costs of reporting their story.
Funding
The Program will cover all transport and subsistence costs of journalists participating in this programme.
Eligibility Criteria
- Journalists with a proven interest in how sport is run. Applicants do not need to be a sports correspondent – they are also interested to hear from business reporters and investigative journalists for example.
- Journalists must be based in an African country and working for a domestic media outlet.
- Journalists working in any medium may apply – print, radio, TV, online
How to Apply
Applicants can apply online via given website.
