The Asia Pacific Journalism Center (APJC) invites journalists in the region to apply for its two-week fellowship program. The fellowship, themed “Challenges to stability and development in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore”, will be held from Nov. 8 to 26.
The Australia-based APJC is a nonprofit organization that conducts programs for journalists in developing countries. It organized the fellowship program with funding from the Melbourne-based Myer Foundation and Dame Elizabeth Murdoch, mother of multimedia mogul Rupert Murdoch.
According to an APJC news release, the program seeks to improve the participants’ knowledge of the cultural, environment, socio-political and economic issues in Asia-Pacific countries, and how these affect the region’s development.
Fellows will attend a dialogue and orientation program at the Sidney Myer Asia Center and the Asia Pacific Journalism Centre in Melbourne, Australia before embarking on a two-week study tour that will cover the region. Destinations include Melbourne, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta.
Interested applicants must have at least eight years of journalistic experience and must be fluent in English. Application forms are available here. Applicants must send the following with the application form before Sept. 15:
1. A 500-word essay stating: the applicant’s expectations; the topic the applicant wishes to cover, and a brief description of the applicant’s news organization;
