Russia-U.S. Journalist Exchange Program Funded by Knight Foundation
A new, two-year exchange program will offer 48 young journalists from Russia and the U.S. the chance to work in newsrooms and build mutual understanding, under a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
"This exchange will help establish professional relationships between the young journalists from two nations, both important in the world, yet once dire enemies,” said Eric Newton, senior adviser to the president of Knight Foundation, which is funding the program through a $250,000 grant to the International Center for Journalists.
The first 24 participants will be selected in February 2012. Applicants must be under 30 years of age, with at least three years of experience. Applications will be accepted on Nov. 15.
