Don’t let the developing world’s most compelling stories go untold. Make your pitch to report them to Canadians.
Aga Khan Foundation Canada and the Canadian Association of Journalists are pleased to announce the second cycle of the Fellowship for International Development Reporting.
The fellowship offers recipients $25,000 to undertake a substantial overseas reporting project that helps Canadians develop a greater understanding of the complex issues facing the developing world.
Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals that push the boundaries of typical foreign reporting to uncover new, fresh perspectives on global issues. Applications are welcome from Canadian citizens and permanent residents with at least five years of experience as working journalists. The deadline for entries is 11:59 p.m. ET on September 30, 2015.
“The developing world is evolving at a rapid pace, and journalists play an important role in making sense of the complex dynamics at work,” said Khalil Z. Shariff, AKFC’s chief executive officer. “This fellowship supports journalists who want to tell stories that illuminate the process of global development for Canadians.”
