Featured Programs

  • U.S.- Pakistan Professional Partnership in Journalism

    In Partnership With: 
    United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP)

    A three-year, multi-phase program will bring 128 Pakistani media professionals to the United States and send 30 U.S. journalists to Pakistan. Journalists will study each others' cultures as they are immersed in newsrooms in each country.

    English-speaking Pakistanis will receive four-week internships at U.S. media organizations, and non-English speakers will spend half that time.

  • Public Service Journalism for Arabic-speaking Journalists

    The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) held a six-week online course in Arabic on using digital tools in public service journalism and investigative techniques. The online course was the first part of a program that brought together journalists, citizen journalists and civil society actors from Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, West Bank/Gaza and Yemen. The six-week online course guided 60 participants from the above mentioned countries to work on ideas for multimedia public service journalism projects.

  • India: Use Mobile Technology to Bring News to Isolated Tribal Communities

    In Partnership With: 
    CGNet Swara

    Knight Fellow Shubhranshu Choudhary is using mobile technology to help citizens in India's most isolated regions to produce news reports for the first time in local languages. Choudhary has worked with MIT and Microsoft Research India to create a system that allows citizen journalists in tribal regions to use cellphones to record audio reports and send them to a server. Professional journalists vet and then post the stories. Local residents can simply call a phone number and listen to the reports.
