[icernet] Fellowships for journalists

[Arul Selvan]

  In order to facilitate a more informed policy dialogue and to 
encourage publication of well-researched articles on development issues, 
the National Foundation for India has announced eight fellowships under 
its National Media Fellowships Programme.

Two fellowships are for projects with a specific emphasis on conditions 
in rural areas. One fellowship is exclusively for a photojournalist.

Journalists from non-metro areas can also apply.

The selected fellows are expected to publish at least 10 articles or a 
reasonable number of photographs (in the case of a photojournalist) on 
the chosen subject during the period.

Out of these two or three should be in-depth research articles/photo 
essays.

The last date for receipt of applications is August 22, 2003. The 
details of the fellowship programme can be obtained from the Programme 
Assistant, National Media Fellowships NFI, Core 4A, Upper Ground Floor, 
India Habitat Centre, Lodi Road New Delhi 110 003. Tel
