We invite print and digital (web) media journalists to apply for the second edition of the REACH Media Fellowships for reporting in Non-Communicable Diseases. The theme for this year’s fellowship is Mental Health.
This year, REACH will award 15 Fellowships to local language journalists (reporting on languages other than English) and one National Fellowship (to senior journalists reporting in English).
For fellowship rules, download the application form.
The last day to apply is June 15, 2019.
Applications can be emailed to media4ncd.reach@gmail.com.
For any questions or clarifications, call 7829546741.
Writing about non-communicable diseases isn’t easy. On this page, we will share resources that we hope will make a journalist’s job somewhat easier.
Please email us on rashmika.reach@gmail.com and let us know if there are any specific resources you would like us to develop.
