SEAPA SEEKS APPLICANTS FOR JOURNALISM FELLOWSHIP


The Southeast Asian Press Alliance (SEAPA) invites journalists working in Southeast Asia to apply for the 2007 SEAPA Journalism Fellowship Programme. The theme for this year is "Human Rights Versus a Culture of Impunity in Southeast Asia."

Journalists who are citizens of the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, Brunei Darussalam, and East Timor can apply. There are 15 fellowships available.

To be eligible, applicants must have at least five years' experience as journalists in any medium (print, TV, radio or online), either as staff of media organisations or as freelancers. They should have some background or experience in writing on social, political, and/or economic issues in their countries and an interest in writing in-depth human interest stories or investigative pieces.

Based on professional credentials and story proposals, the fellowship programme will afford fellows limited travel to a second Southeast Asian country where they can spend up to three weeks researching and writing/producing a story of their choice.
