DEADLINE: Access to Energy Journalism Fellowship

Discourse Media, with financial support from the Waterloo Global Science Initiative (WGSI), is accepting applications for the Access to Energy Journalism Fellowship (AEJF).

The goals of the AEJF are twofold. First, it seeks to support journalism on energy access that will have an impact on public discourse locally, in the country/region of the reporter. Second, it aims to bring stories on energy access from many different parts of the world together, on one platform, to paint a broader picture of the landscape of energy access issues globally. Because energy poverty looks so different from one place to the next, this collaborative approach will add much-needed depth and nuance to the broader conversation. The project will be presented at the 2016 OpenAccess Energy Summit in Waterloo, Ontario, hosted by the Waterloo Global Science Initiative.

Discourse Media will award fellowships to up to eight journalists from around the world to produce one long-form written feature article on the issue of energy access in their country/region.

Eight fellows will be selected to produce one longform written feature article on the issue of energy access in their country/region. The total funding available for all fellows is CAD14,000 (US$10,558). Apply by Nov 29, 2015.
