UN reporting fellowship accepting applications

Journalists from developing countries between 25 and 35 years old can apply for a fellowship to report on the UN.

The fellowship, sponsored by the Dag Hammarskjöld Scholarship Fund for Journalists, gives participants the opportunity to report on international affairs during the 66th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Fellows will make professional contacts, interact with seasoned journalists and gain a broader perspective on global issues.

The fellowship is open to journalists currently working full-time in developing countries in Africa, Asia, South America and the Caribbean.

Applications will not be accepted from the countries of 2010 fellows: Nepal, Peru, South Africa and Togo. Fellows must be able to take a leave of absence of up to two months.
