The International Women's Media Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2009 Elizabeth Neuffer Fellowship, which is open to women journalists who focus on human rights and social justice. The deadline for applications is 15 April 2009.
The fellowship allows one woman journalist to spend the academic year of September 2009 to May 2010 in a tailored programme in the U.S., with access to Boston-area universities, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), as well as popular newspapers "The Boston Globe" and "The New York Times".
The fellowship is named for the 1998 IWMF Courage in Journalism Award winner and "The Boston Globe" correspondent who was killed in Iraq in May 2003.
