Deadline: 30 November 2023
With the support of the U.S. Embassy in Skopje, the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) is partnering with the Metamorphosis Foundation to provide foundational training to young journalists in North Macedonia.
Through workshops, internships, and a study tour in the U.S, the program will give young journalists the necessary skills to drive high-quality reporting using data and verified facts, introduce them to low-cost or open-source digital tools to assist them in their work, and link them to like-minded peers for exchange of shared problems and potential solutions.
About the Program
ICFJ and the Metamorphosis Foundation will implement the project in three stages in 2023-24, to include:
- Three three-day workshops in data journalism and visualizations, mis/disinformation and fact-checking, and pre-bunking to be held in various regions from December 2023 to May 2024. All workshops will be conducted in the English language. Young journalists, journalism students and bloggers from all eight regions of North Macedonia are encouraged to apply to each workshop, but priority will be given to those who did not participate in the previous version of this program.
- A month-long summer internship at the Metamorphosis Foundation’s three media organizations for the six best-performing workshop participants
- A five-day U.S. capstone event with ICFJ in Washington, D.C., for the program’s three top performers, accompanied by one senior staffer from the Foundation.
Eligibility Criteria
- Young journalists, journalism students and bloggers from all eight regions of the country are encouraged to apply, but priority will be given to those who did not participate in the previous version of this program.
