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.

Women's Edition 2010-2012

0 comments

The Population Reference Bureau (PRB) in Washington, DC, United States, is inviting senior-level women journalists from developing countries around the world to apply to its Women's Edition programme. Up to 15 women journalists from the print and broadcast media will be selected to become part of this international network of women journalists interested in women's health and development. The programme is designed to provide the journalists with information on reproductive health and development issues, including family planning and safe motherhood, so they can better cover these topics for their media organisations. Participants will attend seminars and study tours around the world. Journalists may write or broadcast in any language; the seminars are in English.

Participants are selected on a competitive basis, and full sponsorships are available. Participation includes commitments to:

  1. Participate in the seminars.
  2. Publish or produce at least one special report, series of articles, or broadcast programme after each seminar on the issues explored in the seminar.
  3. Send to PRB copies of each supplement, series of articles, or broadcast programme immediately after its publication or broadcast.
Application Info

This opportunity is open to women journalists who:

  • Hold influential editorial positions - senior-level editors, reporters, and producers - with leading media outlets that have large audiences, such as national and regional newspapers, magazines, and television and radio stations; freelancers can apply but must provide a letter of support from a news organisation indicating that it will publish or broadcast the freelancer's work.
  • Reside in a developing region (Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, or the Middle East).
  • Demonstrate interest in women's health, development, and population issues and a commitment to covering these topics.
  • Have the ability to communicate comfortably and effectively in English during the seminars, though they may write or broadcast in any language.
