Fellowship for female journalists

Print, broadcast or online female journalists with a focus on human rights and social justice can apply for yearlong fellowship.

The International Women's Media Foundation presents the Elizabeth Neuffer Fellowship, named for the 1998 IWMF Courage in Journalism Award winner and Boston Globe correspondent who was killed in Iraq in May 2003.

The selected female journalist spends an academic year in a tailored program with access to MIT's Center for International Studies and media outlets like The Boston Globe and The New York Times.

2011 Fellow Jackee Budesta Batanda of Uganda reported on acid attacks of women as “revenge crimes” and the targeted murders of albinos.

Excellent written and spoken English skills are required. The fellow receives a stipend and expenses like airfare and housing are covered. Apply by April 30.
