[Reader-list] Asia Journalism Fellowship

[Yousuf]

Asia Journalism Fellowship

The Fellowship brings up to 15 journalists from Asia to Singapore's Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information at Nanyang Technological University for three months.

As a Fellow, you will have the opportunity to pursue your intellectual interests together with other accomplished journalists from the region, away from the deadline pressures of your job. The semi-structured programme is designed to sharpen your professional skills and deepen your understanding of trends in media and communication at a time of rapid and sweeping change.

It will also provide access to key newsmakers in Singapore's public sector, business community and civil society, giving you insights into the challenges faced by one of Asia's most cosmopolitan hub cities.
Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, NTU

The Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information is one of the leading schools of its kind in Asia.

It has an enrollment of around 1,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students in fields such as journalism, public relations and knowledge management. Its more than 40 full-time faculty are engaged in diverse research, ranging from media law and censorship, public opinion and health communication, to video game culture and Asian film.

The Wee Kim Wee School is also the home of the Asian Media Information and Communication Centre (AMIC), an NGO that spearheads the development of media and communication expertise in Asia within the broad framework of economic, social and cultural development. For more than 30 years, its programmes and publications have crossed the boundaries between academia, media professions and policy makers, allowing those with an interest in communication in Asia to share perspectives, challenges, and best practices.
Temasek Foundation

The Fellowship is made possible by Temasek Foundation, a non-profit philanthropic organisation anchored in Singapore that seeks to contribute to sustainable growth and a bright future of hope and opportunities for people in Asia.

The foundation works with partners to support programmes that develop people through health care, education and research, programmes that build bridges between peoples, programmes that build institutions of excellence through good governance and ethics, and programmes that rebuild lives and livelihoods affected by natural disasters.
