THE IMMIGRATION JOURNALISM FELLOWSHIP

The recent global recession has brought immigration and integration issues back into the spotlight, especially in Europe and the United States. Yet, with media outlets facing drastic job and budget cuts, it has become more challenging for journalists to undertake in-depth or investigative reporting projects on immigration. The French-American Foundation is launching the Immigration Journalism Fellowship for experienced journalists of any nationality. Fellows will receive US$10,000 to produce groundbreaking pieces on immigration over a four-to six-month period. Candidates can be from any medium with at least three years professional journalism experience. Final works must be published in English or French in the U. S. or Europe. Freelancers or teams of up to three journalists can also apply. For more information, or to apply, visit the French-American Foundation website.
