JOB TITLE:
KIPLINGER SOCIAL MEDIA FELLOWSHIP
COMPANY:
JOHN GLENN SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS
LOCATION:
OHIO
DESCRIPTION:
Want to learn the latest digital reporting skills?
 
The journalism field has radically shifted. But when you’re working endless hours and juggling two or three beats, it can be tough to make sense of it all.
 
That’s why the new Kiplinger Fellowship teaches you innovative digital tools and approaches -- all at no cost to you.
 
This March 9-16, fifteen journalists will spend an intensive, hands-on week at Ohio State University, using social media to build a following, develop sources and cover their beats. We’ll talk Twitter, deep web searches, digital footprints, SEO, the backchannel and more. Tools you can use to get a step ahead in the constantly evolving digital world.
 
Then, back in the newsroom, you can log in for coaching sessions—getting tips and ideas from renowned journalists.
 
And there’s more—your editor has the option to attend our three-day condensed version of the training in June.
 
And thanks to the generous support of the Kiplinger Foundation, all of this will be free-of-charge—plus we’ll cover lodging and give you a travel stipend.
 
Want to apply? Visit KiplingerProgram.org for more details, or access our  ONLINE APPLICATION   now.

FELLOWSHIP
COMPANY:
DART CENTER OCHBERG FELLOWSHIP
LOCATION:
NEW YORK CITY, NY
DESCRIPTION:
Dear friends and colleagues:
Here at the Dart Center, we’ve watched the news of recent weeks – of environmental catastrophe in the Gulf, conflict in the Mideast, mass killing in the UK and violence on the Mexico-US border – knowing that too often, journalists covering such extraordinary events don't get an opportunity to reflect on their challenging work or probe more deeply the issues involved.

The Dart Center Ochberg Fellowships in Journalism and Trauma are designed to change that. The application deadline for this year’s fellowship is approaching, so I hope I can count on you to spread the word.
The Dart Center Ochberg Fellowship program is designed for mid-career journalists who want to deepen their knowledge of psychological trauma and improve coverage of violence, conflict and tragedy. Fellows participate in a week-long seminar program, which includes briefings by leading experts in the trauma field and discussions with journalist colleagues. They also attend the annual conference of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.

The fellowship covers all travel and ground expenses. Fellowships are open to print, broadcast and online reporters, photographers, editors and producers with at least five years of experience.
The complete details and the application are available online. Applications and all supporting materials must be received by July 21, 2010.

I’m also pleased to announc e an exciting new partnership with the upcoming Human Rights Watch Film Festival in New York City. We are co-sponsoring three New York premiere screenings of "Restrepo," a new Sundance award-winning documentary about U.S. soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, produced by acclaimed journalists Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington. You can see the complete information and buy tickets by scrolling down to the "Upcoming Events" section or by checking out our online calendar.

Finally: take a few minutes to visit DartCenter.org for new resources responding to the Cumbria tragedy in the UK.

We're very excited, and hope that you will be, too. We believe that we can have a major impact. We are very interested in a diversity of applicants to our program.
