Climate Home News is seeking two outstanding journalists to report deeply on the development impacts, challenges and opportunities of climate change in Africa.
We want to explore how climate knowledge, from adequate modelling to early warning systems, can be used to speed the development of African countries. Where does the science fall short? And why?
Fellows will be provided training and support in climate change reporting from CHN’s editorial team. They will also receive training in the scientific and technical challenges the continent faces from our project partners Future Climate for Africa.
WORTH
Each fellow is expected to produce four major stories between now and May 2019, receiving a fee of £3,000 for their work. There will be some budget for travel.
ELIGIBILITY
- Successful candidates will have at least five years of reporting experience.
- Background in climate change or environment reporting is not a prerequisite.
- A strong track record in original coverage of African politics and development will be seen as a positive
- Fluent spoken and written English is essential.
- History of reporting from the field across Africa
- Ability to file clean copy on time
- Ability to tackle complex technical and political stories
