Deadline: 18 February 2025
Are you a Nigerian female journalist with at least five years of experience? Are you passionate about investigative reporting, leadership and championing equity between women and men in the leadership of the news and the newsrooms? If yes, then now is your chance to apply for the Report Women! Female Reporters Leadership Programme Fellowship.
This year’s fellowship is open to mid-career female investigative journalists with a passion for leadership with at least four years of work experience (post NYSC) who are currently in leadership roles or demonstrate strong leadership potential.
Successful applicants will participate in an intensive residential training on leadership, investigative reporting and mainstreaming of issues of access and abuse that affect girls and women in the news. They will also receive six months of mentorship to produce investigative stories and leadership projects that address equity gaps in the news and newsrooms.
In the last ten years, WSCIJ, through the Report Women! programme, has supported story and leadership projects by both female and male reporters, published four research works on women’s representation in newsrooms and news, produced documentaries, launched a female experts source guide and hosted House-to-House training and engagements on parity between men and women in newsrooms.
