ICFJ seeks engagement, health fellows [Worldwide]
Deadline:
10/14/13
The engagement fellow will aim to improve public engagement and amplify the impact of ICFJ's media partners’ health coverage. The ideal candidate will be a media professional, with deep roots in newsrooms, who has managed complex digital innovation projects and teams and who has a demonstrable track-record for creating ways for audiences to engage with the news.
Experience in Nigeria or elsewhere in Africa is strongly preferred, and training or coaching experience is a plus. The fellowship is open to any nationality, and will begin on or about Nov. 1, 2013.
The health fellow will lead a 10-month project in partnership with key media organizations to plan and coordinate reporting contests, forums and events designed to elevate public dialogue around important health issues.
The fellow also will work in conjunction with other Knight Fellows to integrate into the events the use of engagement tools, such as mobile or data-collection apps, that connect audiences to the news organizations so they can continue to stay informed and engaged in health news.
The health fellow candidate must speak English, but Hausa or Yoruba are also encouraged. Experience working in Nigeria or elsewhere in Africa preferred and African candidates are encouraged to apply. Fellowship to begin in late 2013.
