Education Reporting Fellowship for Immigrant and Ethnic Media
Journalists in New York
Deadline Extended
Call for applications
Feet in Two Worlds is offering a limited number of fellowships to
immigrant and ethnic media journalists who want to improve their
online reporting and social networking skills while covering education
issues in New York City.
Fellows will receive training in blogging and multimedia presentations
(audio slide shows, videos, podcasts), as well as on social media
sites such as Twitter and Facebook. They will produce stories for the
Feet in Two Worlds blog (news.feetintwoworlds.org) and for the news
organization(s) for whom they normally report. There will also be
opportunities for a select group of fellows to produce radio stories
for broadcast online and on the air.
This three-month fellowship runs during the two final months of the
current school year, April 15, 2011 to July 1, 2011. There will be
three workshops over this period the fellows are required to attend,
in addition to submitting three stories with multimedia elements. In
addition to media training, fellows will receive a $500 stipend and
the opportunity to have their work featured on
news.feetintwoworlds.org, Insideschools.org, and other online news
sites.
The fellowship is open to staff or freelance immigrant and
first-generation immigrant reporters and editors who work in any
language. The training will be conducted in English, and all reporting
for Feet in Two Worlds and our partner organizations will be in
English. The training will focus mainly on work in the field,
although there will also be a limited number of group workshops.
Applications are due by 5 PM on Monday, March 28, 2011 and should
include the following:
Three story ideas for coverage of education issues in New York’s
immigrant communities or directly affecting immigrants in New York
City.
Your resume.
