The Minority Fellowship program is designed to widen opportunities for minority professionals to enter or advance in newspaper management. Newspaper executives and journalism educators are asked to nominate candidates who demonstrate managerial potential. Supervisor recommendations play a key role in the selection of fellows. For that reason, we suggest that all applicants work closely with their supervisors when preparing the application forms.
The NAA Foundation is awarding 23 fellowships for events and seminars taking place from January to June 2010. Recipients attend newspaper-related programs offered by NAA, The Poynter Institute, the Maynard Institute and the Asian American Journalists Association.
Applications must be postmarked by no later than December 4, 2009. The application brochure contains detailed program information. Fellowships cover registration fees, and where applicable, travel, meals and hotel expenses.
