ACFJ Fellowships for M.A. Journalism at Ateneo de Manila UniversityOverview
Quezon City, 30 September 2011. Applications for the 2012-2013 ACFJ Fellowships for M.A. Journalism are now being accepted.
The fellowship program seeks to enable fulltime Asian journalists to pursue the two-year master`s program at the Ateneo de Manila University in Quezon City, Philippines. Successful applicants would have excellent professional and academic record and a strong commitment to good journalism.
Since the program`s inception in 2003, 126 journalists from 15 Asian countries have received grants. Among them are mid-career and senior journalists from Asia`s largest dailies including the Philippine Daily Inquirer, The Star (Malaysia), Kompas (Indonesia) and news agencies such as Malaysia`s Bernama and the Indonesia`s Antara.
Working journalists are drawn to Ateneo`s journalism program as it is designed for them to be able to straddle work and graduate education, says Dr. Violet B. Valdez, ACFJ executive director. The program, she explains, is delivered using Internet-based distance learning methods that allows working journalists to study at their own pace and time, and in their own homes or workplaces.
Courses in ethics, media law and news writing are at the core of the program. A wide array of journalism electives are offered including reporting courses on religions, health, conflict and peace and international affairs. Lecturers come from Asia as well as Australia, U.K., Germany, U.S and Canada. Application forms for the fellowship grant may be downloaded from http://www.acfj.ateneo.edu or requested by e-mail at newsroom@admu.edu.ph.
