Deadline: 1 March 2016
The Pulitzer Center on Crisis, in collaboration with Internews, is accepting applications for Persephone Miel Fellowship 2016. The Fellowship does the kind of reporting they’ve always wanted to do and enable them to bring their work to a broader international audience.
The fellowship will benefit those with limited access to other fellowships and those whose work is not routinely disseminated internationally.
