Each year, outstanding media professionals from the United States, Canada and Germany are awarded an opportunity to report from and travel in each other’s countries as part of The Arthur F. Burns Fellowship Program. The program offers young journalists the opportunity to share professional expertise with their colleagues across the Atlantic while working as “foreign correspondents” for their hometown news organizations. Through this exchange, participants learn and share professional skills with one another, and gain experience working abroad as “foreign correspondents” for their home news organizations.
The program is jointly administered by the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) in the United States and the Internationale Journalisten-Programme (IJP) in Germany.
U.S. applications are due on March 1, 2017. The application can be found here. Canadian applications are due on March 1, 2017. Canadian applicants should go to the Massey College website for more information and to submit their application. German applications are due on January 31, 2017. German applicants should go to the IJP website for more information and to submit their application.
