Journalists Invited to Apply for Soros Justice Media

Fellowships

Deadline: September 22, 2004

The Soros Justice Media Fellowships support dynamic journalists and

documentarians working in print, radio, photography, film, and video to

improve the quality of media coverage of issues at the core of the Open

Society Institute's (OSI) criminal justice priorities, which include

death penalty reform and abolition, challenging civil and legal barriers

to the reintegration of people returning from prison, and advancing

sentencing reform efforts. The program intends to mitigate the time,

space, and market constraints that often discourage journalists from

pursuing in-depth stories. The Soros Justice Fellowship Programs are a

project of the Open Society Institute's U.S. Programs, which is part of

the Soros Foundations Network.

Media Fellowships are one year in duration and support research, writing,

photography, radio production, and film and video post-production and

dissemination. Fellows are expected to make their projects the major

focus of their work during the term of the fellowship.

OSI expects to award four Media Fellowships at the end of 2004. Fellows

will receive a stipend of up to $35,000 to carry out projects in the

fields of print, photography, radio, television, and documentary film or

video production.

Applicants must be professional journalists working in print,

photography, radio, and documentary film and video with at least three

years' experience. They should have well-established records of

publication or broadcast in regional or national markets.

See the Open Society Institute Web site for complete program guidelines

and application materials.
