FT Africa Journalism Fellowship open [Sub-Saharan Africa]

Posted on Sep 11, 2023 in Specialized Topics

Mid-career journalists from and based in Sub-Saharan Africa can apply for a fellowship.

One World Media, in collaboration with the Financial Times (FT), is offering the FT Africa Journalism Fellowship. The program seeks a writer who can break down a complex story in simple language, compellingly, in a way that has wide appeal and relatability.

The selected fellow will produce a piece of long-form journalism – an economic or business story from the region that resonates with FT’s global audience. 

Applicants must submit a story proposal. This could be a story that has political impact or shines light on an industry, sector or company.

The fellow will receive a GBP1,000 reporting grant.

The deadline is Oct. 5.
