Adelante Reporting Initiative Fellowship - IWMF

As part of Adelante, IWMF’s Latin America reporting initiative, a group of women journalists will travel to Mexico to report on Economic Development after the Elections from September 20 - October 5, 2018. Reporting fellows will begin their trip in Mexico City, Mexico, where they will complete comprehensive security training and an orientation from September 21 - 24. Fellows will then depart for nine days of reporting based in Guadalajara, Jalisco where they will have the opportunity to network with other journalists, report independently and collaboratively with their peers, and gain access to a variety of sources and sites related to their reporting. 

The IWMF reserves the right to change reporting locations based on the real-time security situation in both locations. The feasibility of day trips outside of Guadalajara will be determined by IWMF security protocols and assessed on a case-by-case basis. Day trips must be within a two hour radius of Guadalajara.

Travel Arrangements and Expenses 

The IWMF arranges travel and in-country logistics for all Fellows. The IWMF also covers fellowship-related costs within the framework of the reporting trip including travel, visa fees, lodging, meals and fixers/interpreters, unless a selected journalist’s news organization wishes to assume these costs. Fellows living outside the U.S. are responsible for procuring all necessary visas for which they will be reimbursed at the conclusion of the fellowship.

Eligibility Criteria
The reporting fellowship is open to individuals and to teams of two (2) journalists. Both journalists must meet the eligibility criteria. Team members should submit individual applications and indicate their plans to work together in their statements of interest.

Accepting Applications: June 12 - July 9, 2018 at 11:59 PM EDT
