Deadline: 31 May 2024
Are you an experienced journalist with an idea you want to implement? Here’s an exciting opportunity. Apply for a fellowship with GroundUp.
The fellowships can be from three to six months (they’ll negotiate that with successful applicants). If you are currently with another publication and they like your application they’re willing to partner with your current employer to co-publish your work – you don’t need to resign your job.
They are especially interested in the following themes: prisons and the justice system, some aspects of labour, mining, and climate change. But if you have an exciting pitch on another subject.
They will work closely with you and support you. The first two weeks of your fellowship will be based at the office in Cape Town. If you live out of Cape Town they’ll cover your transport and accommodation for that period.
Funding Information
- The fellowship will pay R 42,500 per month before tax.
Eligibility Criteria
- They are open to interesting ideas.
- Also, if your expertise or interest is photography, video or podcasting, you are also welcome to apply.
- You will need at least ten years experience as a journalist.
