This course will consist of three days of classroom training and two days attending the ‘Japan’ and ‘A Disaster in your country’ sessions at the News Xchange conference.
Applicants must be currently working as a journalist or regular contributor to media organizations. NewsXchange is a yearly conference for the television and video industry therefore it will help if applicants are interested in this field of journalism.
Full bursaries for journalists from the developing world/countries in political transition working for organizations with no resources for training.
Bursaries include return air travel (economy class), accommodation and a modest living allowance.
Part-funded bursaries are available for journalists from the developing world/countries in political transition who work for organisations that have limited resources for training, in this instance Thomson Reuters Foundation waives the tuition cost and you will be expected to cover travel and accommodation costs.
In exceptional circumstances journalists from the developed world will be considered for part-funded bursaries.
