The Jefferson Fellowships, a program of the East-West Center, will bring
journalists to Honolulu, Hawaii; for one week of dialogue sessions at the
East-West Center, followed by an opportunity to attend the East-West
Center's International Media Conference in Hong Kong on the theme “Reporting
New Realities in the Asia Pacific Region.” Participants will then travel to

letter of recommendation, references, and an employer's statement of
support.
