American print and broadcast journalists have until March 1, 2009 to apply
for a two-month professional exchange program in Germany. Successful
applicants will spend August and September living, working and reporting
for their home and host news organizations from across the Atlantic.
The Arthur F. Burns Fellowship Program grants ten U.S. and ten German
journalists a $5,000 living stipend while they are abroad, along with
airfare and lodging in Washington, D.C. for a one-week orientation session
in July. U.S. participants will also be reimbursed up to $500 in
German-language courses.
The program is jointly administered by the International Center for
Journalists in Washington, D.C. a non-profit organization dedicated to
journalism integrity and free speech throughout the globe and the
Internationale Journalisten-Programme (IJP) in Konigstein, Germany.
