DEADLINE: Douglas Tweedale Memorial Fellowship

Over the years, the biennial Douglas Tweedale Memorial Fellowship has helped Latin American journalists improve their investigative reporting skills, either generally or in a specialty reporting area such as immigration, environment, science and technology or business, through a two-week long program.

In 2023, the program will kick off with a webinar on disinformation and fact-checking best practices. Webinar participants will then have the chance to apply for an in-person study tour and newsroom attachment in the United States for three weeks. Two fellows will be selected.

This fellowship is designed for Latin American newsroom managers who are fluent in Spanish, and who are working at an independent news organization in the region. On a case by case basis, Latin American journalists residing in Spain and working on Latin American issues will be considered. Spanish journalists residing in Spain and working on Latin American issues may also be considered.  

Applications for the virtual webinar are open until September 14, 2023 at 11:59 pm EST.
