Vaclav Havel Journalism Fellowship Eastern Europe

Promising journalists with English-language proficiency from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine can apply for these fellowships.
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty ( RFE/RL) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic are accepting applications for the 2013-2014 Vaclav Havel Journalism Fellowship. The Fellowship provides direct work experience and mentoring at RFE/RL’s Prague headquarters to journalists from countries in RFE/RL’s broadcast region where media freedom is stifled.
This fellowship offers a unique opportunity for journalists to receive on-the-job training while working alongside RFE/RL’s professionals in Prague and in RFE/RL’s local bureaus. Fellows will also represent themselves, RFE/RL and the Fellowship at public events and in discussions relating to media conditions in their country.
The fellowships last nine months and include a stipend, housing and travel to and from Prague.
Applications must include a short personal essay describing the candidate’s fellowship and career goals, work samples, two letters of recommendation and a CV.
The deadline for applications is July 5.
