The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism is pleased to announce the creation of a new award named the Said-Asfari Fellowship jointly sponsored by the Asfari Foundation and the Said Foundation.
This gives a unique opportunity for journalists from Lebanon, Palestine and Syria (resident in the Levant region or Egypt) to benefit from a funded fellowship at the University of Oxford.
The Said-Asfari journalist fellow will spend two terms (six months) in Oxford based at the Reuters Institute, where they join a diverse group of journalists from other parts of the world.
The fellows attend regular seminars each week and occasional special lectures relating to journalism, and they are encouraged to attend other academic and social events at Oxford University. During their stay in the UK arrangements are also made for the fellows to visit several major media organisations such as Thomson Reuters and the BBC.
All Institute and University/College fees will be paid by the Fellowship, and the fellows will also receive their travel costs and a modest stipend to cover housing and living expenses.
Closing date for applications: 25th April 2012 at noon.
