Deadline- OCTOBER 17, 2012
Open Society Foundations invites applications for Soros Justice Fellowships in Media to support writers, print and broadcast journalists, bloggers, filmmakers, and other individuals with distinct voices proposing to complete media projects for local, regional, and national markets that engage the public and spur debate on one or more of OSF’s U.S. criminal justice priorities.
The fellowships aim to mitigate the time, space, and market constraints that often discourage individuals from pursuing important but marginalized, controversial, or unpopular issues in a comprehensive manner.
Eligibility-
- Applicants are ideally full-time writers, print or broadcast journalists, filmmakers, bloggers, or other media makers, with well-established records of publication, dissemination or broadcast in local, regional or national markets, or among targeted audiences or constituencies
- Media Track I applicants must have at least two (2) years of relevant full-time experience. Media Track II applicants must have a minimum of ten (10) years of relevant full-time experience.
- Applicants must have at least a high school diploma or equivalent.
- Applicants must propose deliverables that reasonably reflect a year’s worth of full-time work.
- Up to three (3) individuals can apply jointly for a Media Fellowship.
- The Fellowship Program does not fund enrollment for degree or non-degree study at academic institutions, including dissertation research.
- Past Soros Justice Fellowship recipients are not eligible to apply.
- Applicants may be based outside the U.S., provided their work directly pertains to a U.S. criminal justice issue.
