Our Work by Region

Featured Programs

  • U.S.- Pakistan Professional Partnership in Journalism

    In Partnership With: 
    United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP)

    A three-year, multi-phase program will bring 160 Pakistani media professionals to the United States and send 30 U.S. journalists to Pakistan. Journalists will study each others' cultures as they are immersed in newsrooms in each country.

    English-speaking Pakistanis will receive four-week internships at U.S. media organizations, and non-English speakers will spend half that time.

  • Public Service Journalism for Arabic-speaking Journalists

    The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) held a six-week online course in Arabic on using digital tools in public service journalism and investigative techniques. The online course was the first part of a program that brought together journalists, citizen journalists and civil society actors from Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, West Bank/Gaza and Yemen. The six-week online course guided 60 participants from the above mentioned countries to work on ideas for multimedia public service journalism projects.

  • India: Use Mobile Technology to Bring News to Isolated Tribal Communities

    In Partnership With: 
    CGNet Swara

    Knight International Journalism Fellow Shubhranshu Choudhary’s mobile news service CGnet Swara (Voice of Chhattisgarh) is transforming how people in remote areas of India receive and share news.

    The system, developed with the help of Microsoft Research India, allows people to use mobile phones to send and listen to audio reports in their local language. This service circumvents India’s ban on private radio news and reaches people who never before had access to local news.
