KAICIID and MiCT are jointly launching their new Journalism Fellowship Programme for the Arab region. The scheme will offer mentorship, tuition, and funding for around two dozen media professionals, reinforcing the core values of journalism while promoting accuracy, fairness and balance, as well as respect for diversity, ethnicity and religion. The programme’s participants will be drawn from diverse communities across the Arab world — a region blighted by war, sectarian division, and political and economic instability. The Journalism Fellowship Programme in the Arab region will select 20 to 25 candidates, each a mid-career journalist working across print, broadcast, radio, and/or digital media. To be successful, applicants will have to have at least 5 years of experience, have worked in conflict-sensitive contexts, be aged between 28 and 40 years old, and come from one of the Arab region’s predominantly developing countries.
