The Nieman International Fellowship for Jurnalism at Harvard
The Nieman Foundation selects up to 12 International fellows each year. International Nieman Fellowships are reserved for citizens of nations other than the United States, including journalists with non-U.S. citizenship working in the United States or working for U.S. media companies. Since the first International fellow joined the class of 1951, fellows from 88 countries have spent a year as a Nieman fellow. Prospective Nieman fellows must be fluent in speaking, reading and writing English. All Nieman seminars and Harvard classes are in English, so proficiency in English is necessary to benefit fully from the Nieman experience.
Qualifications
Applicants must be full-time journalists (including freelancers) with at least five years experience. Journalists can work for news or editorial departments of newspapers, wire services, radio, television, web sites, online publications or magazines of general public interest. Photojournalists, editorial cartoonists, columnists and broadcast producers are also eligible.
