1. New Call for Applications from Lebanon, Palestine and Syria for Said-Asfari Fellowships for
Journalists at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Oxford University for
2013**
Closing date for applications: 10th August 2012 at noon
The Journalism Fellowship Programme at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism
supports talented mid-career journalists from around the world whose professional work
would be enhanced by a period of reflection, research and intellectual exchange with other
journalists in Oxford. The Fellowship Programme has run for 28 years and has a network of
500 alumni from 89 countries.
We are pleased to announce that there is still an opportunity to apply for the new Said-
Asfari Fellowship jointly sponsored by the Asfari Foundation and the Said Foundation. This
gives a unique opportunity for journalists from Lebanon, Palestine and Syria (candidates
should ideally be based in the Levant region or Egypt and intend to work there upon the completion
of the Fellowship) to benefit from a funded fellowship at the University of Oxford.
The Said-Asfari journalist fellows will spend one or two terms (three or six months) in Oxford
based at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, where they join a diverse group
of journalists from other parts of the world.
The fellows attend regular seminars each week and occasional special lectures relating to
journalism, and they are encouraged to attend other academic and social events at Oxford
University. During their stay in the UK arrangements are also made for the fellows to visit
several major media organisations such as Thomson Reuters and the BBC.
In addition, the fellows undertake a study project on a topic of their choice, leading to the
comple on of a 5,000-8,000 word paper at the end of their stay. Each fellow is assigned an
academic advisor; usually an Oxford academic specialising in the Said/Asfari Fellow’s chosen
area, for the purpose of this project.
To be considered, applicants are asked to submit a proposal which gives details of the
proposed research topic. This is normally related to the business, economic and/or social
development of a country or of its media.
There is a minimum requirement of 5 years’ professional journalis c experience, but
exceptional applicants who do not meet this requirement may be considered.
In order to take full advantage of the excellent facilities of the Institute and of Oxford
University, evidence of a good working knowledge of spoken and written English is also
required. All Institute and University/College fees will be paid by the Fellowship, and the
fellows will also receive their travel costs and a modest stipend to cover housing and living
expenses.
