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.
