Học bổng báo chí - truyền thông (ngắn hạn và thạc sĩ)

Hix, mỗi lần sis post link mới em đều xem- để học về các tiêu chí chứ cũng chưa thể apply được. Thứ 1 là các HB đều đòi hỏi 3-5 năm kinh nghiệm--> PV trẻ như em pó tay. Thứ 2 là họ đòi hỏi thư giới thiệu của Tổng BT or Thư ký TS--> pó tay ( vì rất hiếm có TS nào lại cho PV trẻ đi học ở nước ngoài 1 tháng chứ nói gì đến vài 3 tháng ). Đầu năm nay em từng apply 1HB nhưng lý do mà em thất bại k phải vì hồ sơ em tệ mà vì em ko có loại thư giới thiệu này
hix, mà nếu chờ đợi "kinh nghiệm" thì sau vài năm nữa -em già rùi, hết tâm huyết bay nhảy '' Lúc đó có xin được thu giới thiệu cũng dzô nghĩa
PS: hì hì, cảm nhận của em là xuất phát từ nick của sis, thứ 2 là từ 1 số entry sis viết về nước Ý. hihi, em cũng đoán là sis hơn em từ 5-7 tuổi ^___^!

Trước đây chị cũng làm việc tại một tòa soạn báo 2 năm và có nhiều người quen làm báo. Chị thấy nhiều các sếp ở các báo, nhất là những sếp trẻ rất thoải mái và understanding. Bản thân các sếp từng dự các khóa học tương tự và thấy rất bổ ích nên luôn khuyến khích đàn em đi học (miễn là "chúng nó" ko đi cùng lúc). Chị cũng may mắn gặp đc các sếp như vậy. Dĩ nhiên chị cũng biết 1 số sếp khó khăn, nhưng số thoải mái chị thấy nhiều hơn.
Em đã thử xin các sếp em chưa?
Bạn và người quen của chị nhiều người đi học ở Inwent và cái ở Hà Lan lắm. Họ cũng đi từ 1 đến 3 tháng cả đấy chứ.
Dài hơi hơn, em có thể xin học bổng thạc sĩ mà.
Fulbright, Chevening, ADS, ALA, Erasmus Mundus đều có ngành báo chí - truyền thông.

THE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM:
In the conviction that a strong, free press is essential to the healthy functioning of a democracy, the late Alfred Friendly, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and former managing e***or of The Washington Post, conceived a fellowship program that would both impart American journalistic tra***ions and respond to worldwide interest in the dissemination of fair and accurate news. It was Alfred Friendly?s belief that working side by side with reporters and e***ors is the best way to absorb the practical realities of journalism in this country and the instrumental role it plays in our society. Therefore, he created the program that bears his name to immerse approximately ten journalists each year for six months in American newsrooms. Between 1984 and 2008, the ALFRED FRIENDLY PRESS FELLOWSHIPS (AFPF) has trained 258 journalists from 78 countries.
In ad***ion to the six month newsroom experience, the program provides an allowance for journalism books, conferences, short-term professional visits and a journalist exchange; offers a Training the Trainer class to prepare our Fellows to share what they?ve learned on the program with colleagues at home; works closely with home and host news organizations to create specific plans for the Fellows; offers specialized fellowships by topic (business, health, investigations, etc.) and region (Muslim world); and teaches newsroom management skills. Our goal is to increase the level of effectiveness and excellence of the AFPF program in the 21st century and to broaden the impact of the program on countries that are working to understand press freedom.
Sharing the goals of AFPF, the Daniel Pearl Foundation (www.danielpearl.org) partnered with AFPF in 2003 to offer special fellowships to honor the life and work of journalist Daniel Pearl ? The Wall Street Journal South Asia bureau chief who was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan in 2002. Daniel Pearl Fellows ? four from Pakistan and one each from Egypt, Nepal, Turkey and Yemen ? have worked at The Berkshire Eagle/North Adams Transcript, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle and the Washington DC bureau of The Wall Street Journal. Applicants for the DANIEL PEARL FELLOWSHIPS (DPF) come from areas that Daniel Pearl covered as a journalist ? the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. Daniel Pearl Fellows are also Friendly Fellows and participate in all fellowship activities. They may receive opportunities, not offered to other Friendly Fellows, in line with the mission of the Daniel Pearl Foundation ? to encourage dialogue among people of different cultures, reduce cultural and religious tensions and create a platform for responsible and creative journalism.
The fellowship program begins in March with a two-week orientation seminar in Washington, DC designed to prepare the Fellows ? both personally and professionally ? for the challenges of living and working in the United States. At the middle of the program, Fellows and staff come together for a week at The Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Florida for seminars focused on writing, e***ing and newsroom coaching. A final seminar in Washington reunites the Fellows and prepares them to train other journalists upon returning to their home countries. It also allows Fellows to compare and evaluate their experiences and discuss their impressions of the American media. Fellows return to their home countries in early September to begin sharing their knowledge and skills with colleagues, e***ors and publishers in their home newsrooms.
The Fellowship covers all costs of program-related international and domestic U.S. travel, health insurance and provides a monthly stipend to cover basic living expenses. It is highly recommended that Fellows bring ad***ional money with them. While family members may visit for up to one month, they cannot accompany the Fellow for the duration of the Fellowship.
