WORTH
- Up to six selected participants will receive micro-reporting fellowships of $500-$1000 USD to pursue stories following the program on one or more of the institute topics.
- Roundtrip international or domestic travel, three-four nights of hotel lodging, ground transportation and most meals will be covered for the 25 selected participants.
ELIGIBILITY
- Journalists from across the media spectrum with a minimum of three years’ professional experience are eligible to apply.
- The first globally-themed institute – open by application and limited to 25 journalists from around the world – is designed for reporters on any beat touching the first seven years of life, whether schools or health, war or social policy, neighborhoods or refugees.
