Deadline: 24 February 2014
International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) is accepting preliminary project proposals from the journalists of color for ‘Bringing Home the World: International Fellowship Program for Minority Journalists from the United States. The main objective of the program is to level the playing field, sending well-briefed journalists of color overseas to report on important issues that resonate in their communities. Creative and practical ideas for producing articles that will help your audience increase their understanding of US community’s and policies’ links to the world at large are encouraged.
The fellow journalists are offered an opportunity to report in foreign land learning the overseas reporting experience. Each of the fellows are paired with a mentor who provides guidance throughout the program. They also blog their experiences and share about their reporting assignments on social media. Once back to home, fellows are required to complete the stories and publish or broadcast them.
The fellows get an opportunity to explore issues beyond U.S. borders, enriching their experience as professional journalists.
