Journalists working in India and Nigeria with experience reporting health stories can participate in a fellowship.
The Population Reference Bureau (PRB) is seeking participants for a specialized fellowship, the Public Health Reporting Corps. The program is aimed at knowledge sharing and cross-border collaboration in news coverage of public health.
Fellows will work collaboratively with colleagues from India and Nigeria to report cross-border stories, with the objective of drawing sustained attention and stimulating debate around the needs and structural inequities exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, fellows will have the opportunity to apply for reporting grants and will participate in story ideation and pitch sessions.
Up to 20 journalists will be selected for the 14-month fellowship.
The application deadline is June 13.
