The World Affairs Fellowship
 Deadline: March 9
Sponsored by the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation
News of local interest is not limited to events in your own backyard, and that enterprising reporters and editors can find creative ways to link events abroad to issues of importance to the community. When a local-international connection is illustrated effectively, the definition of a "community" issue suddenly expands to include the larger region ... other countries ... and the world as a whole. That is the goal of this program. The fellowships are aimed at news managers, editors, commentary writers and other gatekeepers of news -- basically those who decide which stories appear in the paper -- from U.S. community-based newspapers. Ten experienced media professionals will be selected to travel overseas for one to three weeks on assignment. While overseas, fellows will explore issues of local importance and submit articles to their home newspapers for publication.
