World Press Institute Fellowship open [Worldwide]

Journalists who live outside the United States can apply for a fellowship.

The World Press Institute (WPI) is offering three-month fellowships for experienced journalists hoping to improve their understanding of American journalism.

The program aims to expose fellows to working conditions in the U.S. media. They are required to report on a variety of social issues to see how U.S. institutions respond to different social concerns.

The 2014 fellowship will begin in mid-August 2014 and end in mid-October. The fellows will spend three weeks in Minnesota, and then travel to several U.S. cities, including New York and Washington, D.C., for briefings, interviews and visits. They will returne to Minnesota for the final week of the program.

Applicants must have demonstrated leadership potential, five years of full-time news experience and fluency in English. Freelancers are eligible.

Applicants must submit a resume, essays, work samples, a photo and three letters of recommendation by Feb. 15, 2014.
