HONG KONG, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/—The
Wall Street Journal, in association with New York University, is
now accepting applications for the 2013 Wall Street Journal Asia
Fellowship. The Fellowship provides promising journalists from Asia
with the opportunity to participate in the three-semester masters
program in the Business & Economic Reporting program at
NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism
Institute.
The deadline is March 29, 2013.
Candidates must have at least one year’s experience working in
Asia at an English-language publication and be fluent in English
and at least one Asian language. A team of Journal editors working
in conjunction with NYU professors will
select one or more fellows for the program.
Entering its ninth year, the Fellowship has enabled a number of
working journalists in Asia to come to New York to study journalism
at a top research university. The BER program
features a unique interdisciplinary curriculum of both journalism
and MBA courses. With a low 5:1
student-to-faculty ratio, the program provides intellectual rigor
as well as hands-on mentoring for 15 hand-picked students.
The Fellowship covers tuition and fees for two of the three
semesters of the program, as well as a stipend of US$22,000 to
cover travel to New York, living expenses, at least one trip home,
as well as incidental costs such as textbooks. Previous fellows
have gone on to staff positions at the Journal and other major news
organizations in the U.S. and Asia.
