Journalists from anywhere in the world can apply for the inaugural fellowship.

AJ+, Al Jazeera’s new digital channel, seeks six budding journalists from across the globe to take part in its first fellowship program. The one-year fellowship will allow the chosen journalists to hone their crafts autonomously while also receiving support from Al Jazeera’s structured news-gathering organization.

One fellow will be chosen from each of the following regions: North America, Central and South America, Europe, Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia-Pacific.

Fellows will be trained at the AJ+ headquarters in San Francisco for three weeks before returning to their home regions to begin their reporting.

The deadline to apply is Aug. 1.
