Deadline: 29 November 2015
Discourse Media is inviting applicants for Access to Energy Journalism Fellowship with a goal to support journalism on energy access that will have an impact on public discourse locally, in the country/region of the reporter. It also brings stories on energy access from many different parts of the world together, on one platform, to paint a broader picture of the landscape of energy access issues globally.
Discourse Media will award fellowships to up to eight journalists from around the world to produce one long-form written feature article on the issue of energy access in their country/region. The resulting content will be published in three potential places:
- Individual features will be published by each fellow’s media outlet.
- Content from all fellows will be published on a dedicated project website that will act as a marquee hub for energy access journalism.
- All features produced as part of the project will be available to the other media outlets taking part in the fellowship to publish, if they wish, through a content sharing agreement.
Eligibility Criteria
- The fellowships are open to both staff reporters and to freelancers who have a written agreement from an editor at a publication to publish the content they produce and take part in the project.
- Fellow will be selected based on demonstrated quality of their past work and the story they wish to pursue, which should explore an underreported side of the energy access story in their country from a systemic perspective.
How to Apply
Interested applicants may send their application materials at the mail address, given on the pdf.
