Climate Change Journalism Fellowships; Deadline October 13

From Panos.org:

The Climate Change Media Partnership is pleased to invite journalists to apply for a climate change fellowship.

Fellows will attend the UN climate change summit held in Poznan, Poland from 1–12 December 2008 and produce journalism of an excellent standard that will highlight climate change issues within their regions and to an international audience.

The fellowship is open to working journalists who live and work in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America or the Middle East. Women journalists and journalists from under-represented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.

This is an exciting opportunity for editors to gain coverage of the summit through their staff reporters. It is also an exciting opportunity for the journalists selected to enhance their knowledge of environmental issues with the support of the Climate Change Media Partnership, and to develop their professional journalism skills through the media activities offered during the summit.

The deadline for applications is Monday 13 October. An international panel will select the fellows and successful applicants will be notified by 31 October.

Applications should be sent preferably as an email attachment to: CCMP@panos.org.uk

They can also be sent by fax to: +44 207 278 0345, or by post to:

Climate Change Media Partnership, Panos London, 9 White Lion Street, N1 9PD, UK.
