Fellowships for reporting on conflict, violence open

Midcareer journalists who want to deepen their knowledge of trauma and improve coverage of violence, conflict and tragedy can apply for a fellowship.

Each year, the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma, a project of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, selects 10-15 journalists as Dart Center Ochberg Fellows.

Fellows attend an intensive weeklong program of seminars and discussions held at Columbia University in New York City. Program activities include background briefings by prominent interdisciplinary experts in the trauma and mental health fields; conversations with journalist colleagues on issues of ethics, craft and other aspects of professional practice; and a host of other opportunities for intellectual engagement and peer learning.

Online applications are now being accepted for the 2013 fellowship program to be held Jan. 20-25. The application deadline is Oct.11.
