Eligibility Requirements
The Fellowship Program is open to full-time editorial employees of newspapers,
magazines and broadcast news organisations and freelance journalists.
Applicants must have at least four years’
experience. Though some attempt is made to achieve a diversity of backgrounds, the affiliation of applicants is not a factor in the selection process.
Journalists from nationally known
organisations will not be given preference
over those from smaller regional media.
The chief criterion for selection is
demonstrated journalistic excellence. While essays and letters of recommendation are important parts of the application, the greatest weight is given to work samples.

in a position to comment on your
professional performance and potential for covering business and economic news

whatever arrangements are deemed
appropriate. Though applicants’ employers,except under unusual circumstances, should submit a letter supporting the application,applicants are not required to obtain formal employer approval.

samples, should be compiled and submitted with a completed application form before or on the 15th August 2014, to:
