Asian journalists working in print, radio and television have until June 5 to apply for a conflict-reporting fellowship, in which participants will research conflict-related issues in Northeast India.

The fellowship, which will run from July 2008 to June 2009, is being offered by Panos South Asia, an institute that facilitates public discourse and debate in Asia.

Selected fellows will be provided editorial support by an advisory panel comprised of senior journalists and peace and conflict experts. They will also be provided financial support for travel and research. Women, journalists writing in local languages and persons from under-represented areas are encouraged to apply.
