Babatunde Akpeji is a Knight International Journalism Fellow who is building a network of citizen journalists to cover health in Nigeria’s Delta region, an area rich in resources but wracked by severe poverty.
In partnership with The Institute of Press and Information Sciences (IPSI) at the University of Manouba in Manouba, Tunisia, ICFJ organized an internship program for a group of eight Tunisian master’s degree journalism students. The internship program’s goal was to educate Tunisian journalism students on U.S. journalistic practices and ethics. ICFJ placed students in newsrooms for a 17 day internship in September 2012. Students observed U.S. newsrooms at work and learned new skills to enhance their journalism careers.
