Journalism Fellowship Program - FASPE 
FASPE is accepting applications for its 2019 Journalism Fellowship Program.

FASPE is an intensive, two-week study program in professional ethics and ethical leadership taking place in Berlin, Krakow, and Oswiecim (the location of the former Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz). FASPE Journalism begins by examining the actions and choices of German and international journalists in covering and enabling Nazi policies. It then draws on this historical example to help Journalism Fellows both grasp their role as influencers in their field and in their communities as well as identify and confront the ethical issues currently facing practicing journalists and media outlets at large. 

The Fellowship is fully funded, and we seek applicants of diverse backgrounds and interests. We will be awarding the 2019 FASPE Journalism Fellowship to 12 to 18 graduate journalism students and early-career journalists. For more information on FASPE, click here. To apply, click here.
