Deadline: 30 September 2015
The Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ) and Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC) is calling applications for the Fellowship for International Development Reporting program. The Fellowship for International Development Reporting encourages journalists to push the boundaries of daily foreign coverage – which is often focused on disaster or crisis – and set new standards for reporting on the developing world.
Fellowship recipients will be provided with $25,000 to undertake a substantial reporting project which helps Canadians develop a greater understanding of the complex issues facing the developing world.
AKFC is a registered Canadian charity and an agency of the worldwide Aga Khan Development Network, a group of development agencies with individual mandates that address social, economic and cultural dimensions of development.
Objectives
- to encourage ambitious foreign reporting during an era of tighter news budgets;
- to foster a community of Canadian journalists who share an interest in reporting original topics from the developing world.
Eligibility Information
- Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of Canada.
- The Fellowship is open to reporters – both freelancers and staff reporters with at least five years of work experience as a journalist.
- The project should be about a development issue within a developing country or region.
