A job listing at One World Media Fellowship 2019. The One World Media Fellowship are raising upcoming journalists and filmmakers, who will want to make a career out of reporting the global south.
Working in film, print, audio or multimedia, Fellows’ projects bring together integrity and creativity to present underreported stories that break down stereotypes and build cross-cultural connections. Filmmakers and journalists are guided on a single project and are provided with a supportive network of mentors and peers through the production and completion of their plan.
Advantages
- £1,000 production grant
- Executive Producer for your project
- Career mentorship
- Workshops and webinars by industry experts
- Fair Reporting and Security Guidance
- Introductions to commissioners
- A network of like-minded Fellows and Alumni
Qualification
- Open to journalists and filmmakers ready to take the next leap in their career reporting from developing countries;
- Anyone from all around the world can apply. They particularly encourage submissions from BAME applicants;
- 3 places reserved for international Fellows from and based in developing countries.
Eligible Projects
- Projects in pre-production to tell engaging stories from the developing world
- Non-fiction media across all platforms: film, print, audio, photojournalism, and multimedia
- Proposals where the majority of the budget is in place or achievable in a short time-frame
- Projects that can be delivered within a year – for films, this is under 30 mins
- Stories that are strong enough to be published or broadcast in established media outlets. We are looking for genuine journalism or documentary and will fund media that could ultimately appear in existing newspapers, magazines, radio, TV channels, professional news websites, and online platforms, etc.
Beyond this, they are particularly interested in proposals that:
- Seek to tell original stories in a way that will engage the intended audience
- Highlight the voices of people living in the developing world, mainly sounds that are not often heard
- Have established contacts and contributors who have confirmed their willingness to take part
- Have considered ethical issues and safety
- Do not merely cover negative aspects of the developing world without considering the context in which they exist
- Demonstrate an understanding of accountability and fair practice in news gathering and reporting
- Show a willingness to work with local people in equal partnership in co-production on a story.
