The Dag Hammarskjöld Fund for
Journalists is now accepting applications from professional journalists from
developing countries for its 2014 fellowship program. The application deadline
is March 31, 2014.
The fellowships are available to radio,
television, print and web journalists, age 25 to 35, from developing countries
who are interested in coming to New York to report on international affairs
during the 69th session of the United Nations General Assembly. The
fellowships will begin in early September and extend to late November and will
include the cost of travel and accommodations in New York
The fellowship program is open to
journalists who are native to one of the developing countries in Africa, Asia/the
Pacific, and South America/the Caribbean and are currently working full-time
for media organizations. Applicants must demonstrate an interest in and
commitment to international affairs and to conveying a better understanding of
the United Nations to their readers and audiences. They must also have
approval from their media organizations to spend up to three months in New York
to report from the United Nations.
In an effort to rotate recipient countries,
the Fund will not consider journalist applications for 2014 from nations
selected in 2013: Brazil, Kenya,
Pakistan and Turkey. Journalists from
these countries may apply in 2015.
Four journalists are selected each year after a review of all applications. The
journalists who are awarded fellowships are given the incomparable opportunity
to observe international diplomatic deliberations at the United Nations, to
make professional contacts that will serve them for years to come, to interact
with seasoned journalists from around the world, and to gain a broader
perspective and understanding of matters of global concern. Many past fellows have risen to prominence in
their professional and countries. The program is not intended to provide basic
skills training to journalists, as all participants are media professionals.
Full fellowship eligibility criteria
and documentation requirements as well as the fellowship application form can
be found on the Fund’s web site at www.unjournalismfellowship.org
Questions about the program,
eligibility and application process can be directed by email to fellowship@unjournalismfellowship.org.
