Journalists in the U.S., the Pacific Islands and Asia can now apply for the fall 2009 Jefferson Fellowships, which will focus on climate change under the theme: "The right climate for confronting climate change?" Deadline: June 17.
The three-week fellowships, a program of the Hawaii-based East West Center, will explore the ability of U.S. domestic and foreign policy to confront the important economic challenges and opportunities involved in addressing climate change and its consequences. Participating journalists will be able to broaden their understanding of Asia Pacific issues and build a professional network.
Beginning October 25, the program will begin with one week of dialogue with professional colleagues and experts at the East-West Center, followed by a two-week study tour to cities in Asia or the U.S.
Applicants must have at least five years' professional experience and a good level of spoken and written English.
