Accomplished journalists from across the region are being invited
to spend three months in Singapore under the Asia Journalism
Fellowship programme at Nanyang Technological University’s Wee Kim Wee
School of Communication and Information.
The programme, supported by Temasek Foundation and NTU, will run from 7 February through 29 April 2011. Up to 17 Asia-based journalists will be selected for the fully-funded fellowship.
Fellows will be given the opportunity to pursue their own intellectual interests away from the usual deadline pressures of their jobs. For their independent projects, the 2010 Fellows used their three-month sabbatical to investigate topics as diverse as the role of the media, free trade agreements, and Singapore’s transport policies.
The programme also includes seminars and workshops to sharpen professional skills and deepen participants’ understanding of latest trends and key issues facing journalism. For the 2011 round, a special seminar is being planned on the challenges of reporting on ethnic diversity and inter-religious issues.
Fellows will also be introduced to key newsmakers in Singapore’s public sector, business community and civil society, providing insights into what makes Singapore tick and its future challenges.
This is the third time the Fellowship is being organised. The 2009 and 2010 Fellows represented print, broadcast and online media, and came from 15 countries and territories.
Details of the programme, including instructions on how to apply, are available on the web at www.ajf.sg, or by contacting Ms Naowarat Narula at app2011@ajf.sg. Applications are due by 4th October 2010.
