Funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the year-long program sends international media professionals to countries where there are opportunities to promote reliable, insightful journalism that holds officials accountable.
Knight International Fellows work in these key regions: Asia/Pacific, Eurasia/Former Soviet Union, Latin America, Middle East/North Africa, and Sub-Saharan African.
Qualifications and Skills:
- Strong leadership qualities
- Fluency in the local language of the host country
- Demonstrated knowledge of project focus and experience in project medium/media
- Minimum of 10 years journalism experience
- Training experience is a plus

An orientation program for new Knight International Journalism Fellows providing information about the Fellowships and training in digital media, mentoring techniques and monitoring and evaluation methods takes place twice annually.
Country: India
Project Description: The fellow will guide the development of the International Media Institute of India – (IMII). Located in the Delhi suburb of Noida, IMII opened its doors this summer to 30 students from India and the region. The ideal candidate will have the administrative experience needed to build IMII into a sustainable institution that puts high-quality graduates with digital skills into top jobs in Indian media. During the 20-month fellowship starting in January 2011, the fellow will oversee the school’s administration, recruit and train faculty and students, teach courses, help students secure internships and jobs and develop new partnerships and funding to support IMII.
Requirements:

How to Apply
Candidates may apply for one of our current fellowship openings or propose a fellowship:
- To apply for a current fellowship opening, candidates must submit an application and select one of the current openings in the application.
- To propose a fellowship and become the fellow who leads the project, candidates must submit a fellowship proposal and an application.
Fellowship applications and proposals will be evaluated on a rolling basis.
Finalists may be invited to ICFJ's office in Washington, D.C., for interviews. If that is not feasible, they may be interviewed by ICFJ's regional representatives or by phone.
Fellows selected for the program are asked to attend a week-long orientation in Washington. During the fellowship, each fellow receives an allowance for transportation, professional and living expenses, and an honorarium. Fellows also have access to a small-grants fund. Approved grants cover the cost of special projects that benefit the program.
If you have any questions or problems with the online form, please contact Pedro J. Rodriguez, program officer, promptly for assistance.
