The organiser disclosed that 20 fellows will participate in certified workshops and webinars with renowned international partners such as Deutsche Welle, BBC Media Action, Hass-Plattner-Institute, the AU and international media houses.
Fellows will be awarded grants to assist with the production of detailed stories.
The AU says, “As information gatekeepers, the media plays a role in ensuring checks and balances between those in power and their citizens.”
They are essential in shaping how we learn, experience and perceive the world around us through stories, images, words and motion pictures to ensure a fuller picture of our world.
The deadline for submission of application is April 30, 2022. Interested applicants can apply here.
