New America Media Education Fellowship Program
February 19th-20th 2008
University of California Center Sacramento
New America Media and the University of California Center Sacramento, Public-Affairs Journalism Program are partnering for a second year on a customized education beat fellowship program for ethnic media journalists in California.
This two-day fellowship program will address state and federal education policy, public school-related data, testing, how school districts are constructed, and issues such as the achievement gap and early childhood education.
8-10 fellows from ethnic media outlets in California will be chosen for this program. Each fellow will spend two days and two nights in Sacramento, from February 19th to February 20th, 2008. (Workshops and lectures will be held on February 19th and 20th at the UC Center Sacramento).
The fellowship program requires each fellow to produce at least one story out of the fellowship to be featured on New America Media’s website, and to run in the fellow’s media outlet. All fellowship applicants must include a possible education story idea in their application, as well as agreement from their editor/publisher to run the piece once it is completed.
All hotel and travel costs to Sacramento will be covered by New America Media. Each fellow will also receive a $500 honorarium once their story is published.
Applications are due no later than January 7th, 2008 at 5pm
