Arthur F. Burns : German-American Fellowship program (Funded).
German-American Fellowship
Program Description
The Arthur F. Burns German-American Fellowship Fellowship Program gives 20 promising journalists from Germany, the United States and Canada the opportunity to gain professional and personal experience in the partner country. Fellows work for two months in a host media organization of their choice, learning about news operations in a foreign setting and serving as foreign correspondents for their home media. The fellowship provides journalists the opportunity to conduct in-depth reporting and gain first-hand knowledge of politics, business, and culture in the host country, while becoming fully integrated into the day-to-day business of the host newsroom.
The program was initially founded in 1988 to improve understanding among German journalists of U.S. affairs and to strengthen the transatlantic relationship. In 1990, the program became a true exchange between the two countries. In 2013, the program was expanded to include Canadian journalists.
Its aim is to support talented journalists and improve news coverage of transatlantic issues.
Fellowship Payments
The German participants of the Arthur F. Burns Fellowship receive a budget of 4,000 Euro plus 1,500 Euro travel allowance. American and Canadian fellows receive 5,500 US$. This covers their transatlantic flight and a portion of the fellows’ travel and basic living expenses. There will be no payment for the work in the host organization.
Application
German participants are requested to send to IJP a Curriculum Vitae in English or German, a passport picture, a short summary of their professional objectives in the host country and a letter of recommendation from their supervising editor. The letter of recommendation should support the application as proof of journalistic work and at the same time guarantee that the applicant can be released from his/her commitments for the duration of the program.
U.S. applicants please contact the International Center for Journalists at the above address.
Alumni
More than 600 journalists from over 60 German and U.S. media outlets have taken part in the Arthur F. Burns Fellowship Program since 1988. Many professional contacts and friendships have developed from this alumni circle. IJP supports the contact between former participants with a regular Burns newsletter, annual alumni dinners and other events. Chief among the regular reunions are the Arthur F. Burns alumni dinners in Berlin and New York.
