Earth journalism fellowship
Climate Change Media Partnership invites journalists from developing countries who report on climate change to apply for the 2009 Fellowship Programme. The deadline for filing applications is June 5, 2009.
With the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen closing in, the governments from around the world have set themselves a deadline of December 2009 to agree a new deal for addressing climate change.
"Climate change will disproportionately impact developing nations, yet journalists from these countries rarely have the resources to attend the intergovernmental negotiations aimed at tackling the problem,” says James Fahn, Global Director of Internews' Earth Journalism Network.
CCMP will be working with journalists in the run up to the UN summit and therefore invites journalist covering environment news to apply for the 2009 journalism fellowship.
Who can apply?
- Be a regular working journalist in the print, radio, electronic or television media
- Live and work in Asia, Asia-Pacific, Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America or the Middle East
- Have a valid passport that will not expire before June 2010
- Have knowledge and interest in climate change and development issues
- Have the support of your media house and editor to participate in the fellowship
- Have working level competence in the English language
Awards
Forty journalists will be awarded fellowships, which will give them skills training and access to world-class experts to enhance their knowledge.
Deadline
June 5, 2009 (Midnight UK time (BST) on World Environment Day.
