The Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships
The Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships (AFPF) announces its annual competition open to non-U.S., mid-career, professional print journalists from developing and transitional countries with an emerging free press.
Approximately twelve mid-career reporters and editors - usually between the ages of 25 and 35 -are selected annually to come to America for a six-month, in-depth, practical introduction to the professional and ethical standards of the U.S. print media.
Since 1984, AFPF has hosted 194 journalists from 70 developing countries. An applicant must have an excellent command of written and spoken English, early to mid-career status, with at least three years experience as a print journalist, a demonstrated commitment to a career in journalism in the home country, and current employment as a journalist with an independent print media organization in a developing or transitional country.
The Fellowship covers all costs of program-related international and domestic U.S. travel, and provides a monthly stipend to cover basic living expenses. The program begins in June with a two-week orientation seminar in Washington, DC followed by five-month deployment to U.S. host newspapers where Fellows cover local news.
Applications are due February 1 for the program beginning in June of that year. For more information and/or an application, visit AFPF's website: www.pressfellowships.org
or contact AFPF at: 2000 L Street N.W. Suite 200, Washington, DC 20036-4997 Telephone: (202) 416-1691 Fax: (202) 416-1695 E-mail: afpf@aol.com
