The America for Bulgaria Foundation in association with the World Press Institute is offering an exciting opportunity to Bulgarian journalists—a media fellowship in the United States in 2018.
The program is open to early- to mid-career journalists and photojournalists with more than five years of professional experience in newspapers, newsmagazines, wire services, radio, television, and online news organizations. Applicants must be available to travel for nine weeks between August and October 2018, be Bulgarian citizens, and have permanent residency in Bulgaria. The award covers travel, accommodation, and meals.
The recipient of the America for Bulgaria/World Press Institute Media Fellowship will be among a group of ten World Press Institute Fellows from around the world. The fellowship program is based at the World Press Institute in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, in Minnesota, with trips to Washington, DC, New York City, and other major US cities. The program provides an immersion into the governance, politics, business, media, and culture of the United States through a demanding schedule of study, travel, and interviews.
Applications close Friday, March 16, 2018. The name of the selected fellow will be announced at the beginning of May.
