Apply for IJJ's 2012 Immigration Reporting Program
Fellowship Application Deadline: January 17
IJJ is accepting applications for its 2012 professional fellowship
program, which will examine the contentious immigration issues playing
out across the country on local, state and federal levels and their
role in the 2012 election campaign.
Twelve Fellows will be selected to
participate in the professional development program, which will help
reporters cover legal, political and demographic developments
involving immigration. The program will provide journalists with
facts, figures and perspectives to move beyond the typical campaign
rhetoric on immigration. It also will examine the anticipated
electoral impact of immigrants who have become newly eligible to vote.
The program, “Immigration in the Heartland: the 2012 Elections and
Beyond,” will take place April 20-25 at the University of Oklahoma’s
Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication and its Institute
for Research and Training, which are partnering with IJJ in this
program.
The Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation is the
program’s funder. The deadline for receipt of applications is Jan. 17.
