SEAPA Journalism Fellowship Program

The Southeast Asian Press Alliance (SEAPA) is now accepting applications for the SEAPA Journalism Fellowship Program, whose theme this year is "An ASEAN [Association of Southeast Asian Nations] Community by 2015: Vision or Delusion?" For three weeks in May, SEAPA will provide journalists from Southeast Asia, including freelancers, with the opportunity to explore common issues affecting their communities and nations. The programme will include 2 three-day workshops, and two weeks to cover a Southeast Asian country.

Journalists who are interested in the Fellowship are invited to submit an application form downloadable from the SEAPA website, linked below, along with a story proposal on the theme. The proposal should be no more than 1,000 words. Applicants are also asked to submit two articles published in 2010 or 2009, curriculum vitae, and a written consent from an immediate superior or editor that he/she is allowed to take part in the programme. Freelancers may submit a certification/endorsement from an editor of media organisations where they work.
