For more then 15 years the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships has been providing
professional print journalists from developing countries and emerging democracies with
unique, training opportunities in U.S. newsroom. At the heart of our fellowship program is
a five-month working assignment at a newspaper or news magazine. During this assigment,
Fellowe contribute to the routine output of their host publications by working as general
assigment reporters. It is hoped that through this type of practical, hands-on training,
Fellows will find practices, standarts and values in U.S. journalism which they can adapt
and apply in their home countries. The program has three objectives:
- Enable the Fellow to gain a practical understanding of the function and signigicance of
the free press in American society.
- Provide the Fellow with experience in reporting, writing and editing that will enhace
future proffesional performance.
- Foster continuing ties between free press instituions and journalists in the United
States and their counterparts in other countries.
Fellows are selected for the program based on their commitment to careers in journalism, English language abilities and journalistic acumen.
