Apply Now to join the Reuters Institute Oxford Climate Journalism Network. This is a unique opportunity to join a global network and learn from peers and academics while developing your own expertise and career in climate journalism.

Members of the network will participate in a six-month online programme with access to world-leading experts, dedicated workshops, and a community of 100 journalists from all continents.

ELIGIBILITY

  • The course is designed for reporters from all beats, desks, and formats who are interested in improving their coverage of climate change. This course is not only for climate specialists, although they are also welcome to apply. 
  • The course aims to broaden the scope of climate change journalism. As a result, journalists, multimedia reporters, photographers, and editors from beats such as sports, business, and politics are encouraged to apply. This is not a course for students or for PR professionals. Only practicing journalists should apply. 
  • Applicants should have the written support of their line manager to attend the 14 mandatory sessions and join the rest of the programme. 

Successful applicants will be expected to: 

  • Join 14 mandatory sessions. These are one introductory session, one closing session, and 12 keynote 90-minute seminars held every two weeks. These mandatory sessions are usually held on Tuesdays at 13:00 UK time to allow for maximum time zone coverage. This unfortunately results in inconvenient hours for colleagues in East Asia, the Pacific, and Western North America.  
  • Join the community’s dedicated online platform and engage with other members there 
  • Join 60-minute optional sessions whenever possible. These are often held at 13:00 UK time but may vary to allow for better hours for colleagues. We usually run around 25 optional sessions, in addition to our 14 mandatory sessions. 
  • Engage with the network’s community, including discussions with colleagues on an online platform, and participating whenever possible in additional activities and events 
  • Complete three brief questionnaires tracking their knowledge through the process, including a survey in June, another one in December, and a mid-course survey. 

DEADLINE: October 13, 2024
