a Journalism Fellowship on Immigration


In five years, one in three children in the United States will be from
immigrant families. They are the fastest-growing group of American children
and are shaping the future of our country. The educational, economic and
social issues faced by immigrant children and their families — and how they
impact the rest of society — will be the focus of  a fellowship program
organized by the Institute for Justice & Journalism.

Up to 16 journalists will be chosen to attend the conference, to be held
April 7-10 at Georgia State University in Atlanta. IJJ will pay for travel
and other expenses. *Applications are due Feb. 16.*

As part of their applications
<http://justicejournalism.us3.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=cd6952bffc12ccbf6d2bd1d62&id=5c71886789&e=49a19dc953>,
journalists must propose an enterprise project on immigrant children and
families for publication or broadcast. Each fellow will receive a $500
stipend upon completion of the story project.

The conference will include:

   - A seminar on immigration law with attorney Dan Kowalski, a very
   popular teacher and editor of Bender’s Immigration Bulletin.
   - A hands-on workshop on investigative techniques with Pulitzer
   Prize-winning reporter Martha Mendoza of the Associated Press, an acclaimed
   FOIA expert.
   - An interactive workshop on finding and interpreting data with Laura
   Speer of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, who oversees the Kids Count Data
   Center, which collects and analyzes the most comprehensive and latest
   statistics about U.S. children.
   - Panel discussions with experts on health issues, education inequities
   and upcoming legislation impacting immigrant families. There will be
   special emphasis on the South, where immigrant families are growing the
   fastest and children face some of the biggest hurdles in health and
   well-being.
