Fellowship focuses on covering the fight against Malaria
Journalists based in the United States, Africa, Asia and Europe can apply for this fellowship.
The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) and Malaria No More have launched “Covering the Fight to Eradicate Malaria: A Fellowship for U.S. and Global Journalists.”
The program will allow five U.S. journalists and four global journalists (from Africa, Asia and Europe) to travel to Thailand for a five-day study tour focusing on the causes, treatments, prevention and impact of malaria in Asia and around the globe. The trip will take place Oct. 25 to 31.
Fellows will conduct site visits to clinics and treatment centers, attend briefings with health officials and disease experts, hear from organizations working to eliminate the disease and meet with local journalists covering the issue.
Journalists will be expected to produce stories based on the information gathered and contacts made during the tour. English fluency is required.
The deadline is Sept. 14.
