Journalists in the Asia-Pacific wanting to deepen their knowledge of
emotional trauma and improve coverage of violence, conflict and tragedy
have until 18 February to apply for prestigious Dart Centre regional
Fellowships.
The scheme’s seminar program is aimed at veteran journalists, editors
and freelancers and the organisers say preference will be given to
applicants applying in two-person teams comprised of a seasoned
journalist and an editor from the same news organisation, except in the
case of freelancers.
The program consists of seven-days of seminars and conversations in
Bangkok, Thailand, from 12-19 May 2013. It offers briefings by leading
experts in the trauma and journalism fields along with peer-to-peer
discussions on the many challenges of covering tragedy and violence. The
fellowship covers all travel, accommodations and ground expenses while
attending the program.
They are open to print, broadcast and online reporters,
photographers, camera operators, editors and producers with at least
five years’ full-time journalism experience.
The organisers say applicants must possess strong spoken and written English, as all presentations will be made in English.
