Description
The Heinrich Böll Foundation Washington, DC’s Transatlantic Media Fellowships support well-researched journalism through independent, on-the-ground or virtual research and reporting. The program selects journalists annually, in any medium, to explore digital policy, foreign and security policy, climate and environmental policy, and democracy. It seeks new perspectives on transatlantic policy debates, particularly from voices that are less often heard.
A separate Global Dialogue category supports journalists based in Africa, Asia, and Latin America reporting on the interplay of global development between their region and the United States, Canada, or Europe. Supported work may be one longer investigative piece, two to three shorter articles, or multimedia reporting such as podcasts, videos, and photo essays.
