Gates Foundation to Sponsor Health
Journalism Fellows in Africa
Washington – The best defense of press freedom is journalism
that improves the lives of citizens. The Knight
International Journalism Fellowships program, administered
by the International Center for Journalists, does just that.
For more than 14 years, the program has helped 30,000
journalists and media managers make a difference around the
world.
In the past year, the Fellowships have been redesigned to
have maximum impact. Fellows are now responsible for driving
high-impact projects in countries where there are great
opportunities for change. On Nov. 13, the John S. and James
L. Knight Foundation announced a three-year, $3.8 million
grant to continue these innovative Fellowships.
In addition, the program is launching new health journalism
Fellowships to develop a cadre of journalists who can
provide insightful coverage of important health issues,
including HIV/AIDS. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has
provided a three-year, $1.7 million grant to support health
Fellowships for journalists in sub-Saharan Africa.
“These Fellowships are so vital because they will not only
generate better information, but in many cases they will
help save lives,” ICFJ President Joyce Barnathan said.
Fellowships now last a year and they are open to the most
qualified candidates from around the world. Fluency in the
local language is required. The program also dispatches
short-term Fellows who can respond rapidly to calls for
assistance. Regional advisory committees comprised of
international experts help identify the best projects and
Fellows.
The International Center for Journalists, a nonprofit,
professional organization, promotes quality journalism
worldwide in the belief that independent, vigorous media are
crucial in improving the human condition. Aiming to raise
the standards of journalism, ICFJ offers hands-on training
workshops, seminars, fellowships and international exchanges
to journalists and media managers around the globe. For more
information, visit www.icfj.org.
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation promotes
journalism excellence worldwide and invests in the vitality
of the U.S. communities where the Knight brothers owned
newspapers. Since 1950, the foundation has granted more than
$300 million to advance journalism quality and freedom of
expression. Knight Foundation supports ideas and projects
that create transformational change. For more information
