ACME is accepting applications for its investigative journalism short courses beginning in 2021. Acme, with support from the Delegation of the European Union to Uganda, invites applications from journalists based in northern and eastern Uganda for a fellowship program on investigative journalism.
WORTH
- The fellowship offers journalists an opportunity to take time out from the newsroom to enhance their investigative journalism skills.
- Participants will examine what investigative journalism is, how to conceive, research and write investigative stories – recognizing when something should be a long-term project; basic criteria for launching into the story; testing and retesting the hypothesis throughout the investigation; and shifting direction when the reporting dictates that the story direction has changed.
- They will also be asked to think about possible investigative projects they want to work on upon their return to the workplace, using the lessons learned during the course.
ELIGIBILITY
- Open to all print, television, radio, and online journalists from the Northern and Eastern parts of Uganda, who have more than two years of experience working as reporters.
- Applicants are required to select one location that is preferable, but in any case, they expect journalists from Northern Uganda to apply to the Lira training workshop, and those from Eastern Uganda to select Lira.
- Female journalists are strongly encouraged to apply.
DEADLINE: November 29 2021
