Media development action with informed and engaged societies
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Humphrey Fellowship Program: Journalism Fellowships

4 comments

The Humphrey Fellowship Program offers a ten-month stay at a journalism college in the United States (US) to study journalism and undertake professional affiliations at US news organisations.


The programme includes financial support for studies, travel, workshops and seminars, a monthly stipend, funds for books, and a computer subsidy.


Applicants should have a minimum of five years of substantial professional experience, limited or no experience in the US, and demonstrated leadership qualities and commitment to their communities. Most applicants have English skills and undergraduate degrees, but some exceptions are allowed.


Humphrey Fellows from different professional fields are assigned to different US campuses. US host universities are selected through a competitive bidding process. Selection is based on the institution’s ability to develop specialised non-degree programmes for a diverse group of Fellows in one or more of the programme’s professional fields.

The deadline for application varies by country, but usually ranges from June to September for the following year.

Application Info

To apply: Contact the Public Affairs Section of the US Embassy or the Bi-national Fulbright Commission in your home country.

From 2008 to 2009 I was a Hubert H. Humphrey fellow in thr USA. I am a Brazilian black Woman, who applied to study and learn about Diversity and Inclusion of Black People in Media and Education. I am journalist and PhD in communication sciences, however this fellowship is for Leaders who have professional interest to learn an high chances to share their knowledge with people and government. I had opportunity to know people from different countries and I studied in University of Oregon, Eugene and University of Maryland College park at Philip Merrill College of Journnalism. I think people must apply and broadcast the HHH Fellowship. It is a great opportunity o enhance network and knowledge. Rosangela Malachias (rosmalach@gmail.com)
