Awards, Fellowships and Workshops
Age Boom Journalism Fellowship, Columbia University
From the website: Journalists covering this year’s state and congressional campaigns need to ask fundamental questions about this rapidly changing constituency – and understand how new data and new policies are making new politics. Who are today’s older voters? How does today’s over-65 electorate differ from past generations? What issues motivate today’s senior voters? What age-related issues and policies are at stake in 2014 and 2016?
Deadline: May 2
Requirements: The intensive seminar, to be held June 12-14, aims to “deepen your reporting and help you get beyond cliché to discover stories that matter — on health care, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, intergenerational justice and other issues often critical to election outcomes.
Training and Webinar, The Maynard Institute
From the website: Journalists working with ethnic media or media targeting underserved communities in California are invited to apply for training in covering mental health issues. The training is free and consists of two 90-minute webinars on May 20 and 21. Those who complete the training and who publish or broadcast a story that addresses mental health in their community will be eligible for a $500 award. Freelancers are welcome to apply.
Application Information: This program is underwritten by the Entertainment Industries Council. The Maynard Institute is assisting with recruitment. For more information and the application, please contact Evelyn Hsu, MIJE senior director, programs and operations, at ehsu@mije.org.
