Reporters with an interest in conflict journalism are invited to attend this conference in Israel.

The Media in Conflicts Seminar (MICS) is an academic and professional communications program presented bythe Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya, Israel’s first private institution for higher education.

The five-day program seeks to introduce journalists to the challenges of conflict reporting, help them create aprofessional network, and expose them to the world’s most covered conflict zone. Attendees will participate in lectures and workshops on conflict journalism, terrorism, defense and security, and tour Jerusalem and other conflict areas.

Attendees’ stay in Israel is funded by the program, but does not include airfare to Israel.

This year’s MICS program will take place from Aug. 31-Sept. 4. The deadline to apply is May 15.
