One fellow is selected each year based on a winning proposal to report from a region lacking significant mainstream media attention. The selected individual will spend three months abroad, plus time at NPR in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n<p>Above the Fray supports curious, truth-seeking, spirited individuals who wish to cover under-reported regions, but who do not have the financial means or professional support to pursue these stories. The fellowship is not about finding the most experienced candidate; it is about cultivating the next generation of international journalists. The fellowship strives to discover journalists who are at pivotal moments in their careers: those who are armed with the skills to independently tell stories and who possess the ability to take audiences off the beaten path.<\/p>\n<p>Applicants should have 3-5 years of professional experience, including some radio experience. Above all, the applicant must express sincere interest in innovative foreign reporting, a curiosity about global cultures and a demonstrated record of journalistic potential.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to sign up for our mailing list to stay up-to-date.
