This is an American non-profit, non-governmental organization that gives developing-world journalists the opportunity to work as reporters at American newspapers. The program, which runs from March to September, is offered annually to approximately 10 professional print journalists between the ages of 25 and 35. The Friendly Fellows are given an in-depth, practical introduction to the professional and ethical standards of the U.S. print media. Unique among the many training programs available to journalists, AFPF is the only one to offer a non-academic, long-term, hands-on experience in a single newsroom.
* Applications for the 2006 fellowship year will be available online after May 1, 2005.
