    The Reham Al-Farra Memorial Journalism Fellowship (deadline is 7 May)

    The Reham Al-Farra Memorial Journalism Fellowship is a unique opportunity for young journalists from developing countries and countries with economies in transition to cover the United Nations. Hosted every fall at UN Headquarters, the programme brings a select group of journalists to New York for the opening of the General Assembly.

    Dur­ing the 3‑week pro­gramme, fel­lows have an oppor­tu­ni­ty to attend spe­cial brief­in­gs, inter­view senior offi­cials and exchange ideas with col­leagues from around the world. In pre­vi­ous years, fel­lows have met with the UN Sec­re­tary-Gen­er­al, Pres­i­dent of the Gen­er­al Assem­bly and per­ma­nent rep­re­sen­ta­tives to the Unit­ed Nations. The pro­gramme also arranges vis­its to var­i­ous news orga­ni­za­tions, such as the New York Times, Democ­ra­cy Now! and WNYC radio.

    The Reham Al-Far­ra Memo­r­i­al Jour­nal­ism Fel­low­ship was man­dat­ed in Decem­ber 1980 by UN Gen­er­al Assem­bly Res­o­lu­tion 35/201. For­mer­ly known as the DPI Train­ing Pro­gramme for Broad­cast­ers and Jour­nal­ists from Devel­op­ing Coun­tries, the pro­gramme was renamed in 2003 in hon­or of Reham Al-Far­ra, a 29-year-old Jor­dan­ian pub­lic infor­ma­tion offi­cer who was killed in the 19 August 2003 bomb­ing of the UN head­quar­ters in Bagh­dad.

    Since its found­ing in 1981, the fel­low­ship has been award­ed to 581 jour­nal­ists from 168 coun­tries. Upon com­ple­tion of the pro­gramme, fel­lows are expect­ed to con­tin­ue work­ing in jour­nal­ism and pro­mote bet­ter under­stand­ing of the Unit­ed Nations in their home coun­tries. The pro­gramme does not pro­vide basic skills train­ing, as all fel­lows are work­ing jour­nal­ists. 

    The Fel­low­ship cov­ers trav­el to New York and pro­vides a dai­ly sub­sis­tence allowance to cov­er accom­mo­da­tion and relat­ed expens­es.

    The 2018 Reham Al-Far­ra Memo­r­i­al Jour­nal­ism Fel­low­ship will take place at Unit­ed Nations Head­quar­ters in New York from 16 Sep­tem­ber to 6 Octo­ber 2018.
