Opportunity Description
Applications are being accepted for the United Nations Reham al-Farra Memorial Journalism Fellowship. The Fellowship is an excellent opportunity for young (22–35) working journalists from developing and transitional economies to cover the United Nations.
The program, which takes place every autumn at UN Headquarters, brings together a selected group of journalists virtually/in New York to cover the opening of the General Assembly for their respective news outlets. The UN General Assembly Resolution 35/201 established the Reham Al-Farra Memorial Journalism Fellowship in December 1980. Formerly known as the DPI Training Program for Broadcasters and Journalists from Developing Countries, the program was renamed in 2003, honoring Reham Al-Farra, a 29-year-old Jordanian public information officer killed in the bombing of the UN headquarters in Baghdad on August 19, 2003.
