The International Reporting Project (IRP) is pleased to announce a two-week Gatekeeper Editors Trip to Indonesia on May 6-20, 2011, for senior U.S. editors and producers interested in learning more about this important country in Asia.
Applications forms for this trip must be received by the IRP by March 11, 2011.
Gatekeepers are any senior journalists – publishers, executive editors, managing editors, broadcast producers, online editors, editorial page editors, business editors, op-ed page editors and others – who determine editorial content at any type of media organization. Gatekeepers must have at least seven years of editorial experience and must supervise staff at a fulltime job at their organization. Gatekeepers must be U.S. citizens or else employed as staff editors in the U.S. for a U.S.-based news organization.
This trip to Indonesia will focus on issues such as health, climate change and environment, economic development, the role of religion, minorities and human rights and Indonesia’s rising importance in Asia and the world. The world’s fourth largest country in population and the world’s most populous Muslim country, Indonesia exerts a growing influence as a democratic Islamic state. Gatekeepers will meet with a wide cross-section of Indonesians to learn how this archipelago nation of more than 17,000 islands is coping with threats of terrorism, climate change, natural hazards such as tsunamis, volcanoes and earthquakes while attempting to consolidate democracy, reduce poverty and curb corruption.
Site visits may include travel to remote wilderness areas. Editors should be prepared to do some hiking and altitude trekking.
The International Reporting Project (IRP) will take up to 12 U.S. gatekeepers on this trip to Indonesia. Editors in chief or publishers are invited to nominate themselves or another gatekeeper from their news organization’s senior staff. The trip will follow the models of previous IRP Gatekeeper trips to Liberia, China, Peru, Kenya, Turkey, Uganda, Korea, Nigeria, Egypt, India, Lebanon/Syria, South Africa and Brazil.
All selected Gatekeepers will be asked to gather in Washington D.C. on Friday afternoon, May 6, for a briefing with an expert speaker on Indonesia. Editors will depart that evening. Editors will return to Washington DC on Friday, May 20.
Gatekeepers are responsible for paying their own way between their home cities and Washington, DC. The IRP will cover all of the costs of the participants’ travel and accommodations in Indonesia, as well as meals that are part of the program schedule. (Gatekeepers’ organizations may choose to reimburse the IRP for these expenses if they so wish.)
IRP funding comes entirely from support by private, non-partisan foundations and from individuals. The IRP is an independent program run by journalists for journalists, and is based at the Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, D.C.
Editors interested in applying for the 2011 Gatekeepers’ Fact-Finding Trip to Indonesia are required to fill out an application form for the fellowship. Application forms must also be accompanied by a professional resume of no more than two pages. Applicants must have a passport that is valid for travel for at least six months following the end of the trip. Application forms are available online or by contacting the IRP at irp@jhu.edu.
Completed applications should be sent by email to irp@jhu.edu, or by fax to 202-663-7762, or by postal mail to the International Reporting Project, 1619 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC. 20036.
