The International Women?s Media Foundation
(IWMF) is accepting applications until
April 9, 2010 for the Elizabeth Neuffer
Fellowship and accepting nominations until
March 5 for the Courage in Journalism Awards.

The Elizabeth Neuffer Fellowship is named
for the Boston Globe correspondent who was
killed in Iraq in 2003. She was a winner of
the IWMF?s Courage in Journalism Award in
1998.

One woman journalist will be accepted to spend
the academic year in Boston (September 2010?
May 2011) in a tailored program designed to
combine academic research with training in
covering human rights. The fellowship is open
to women journalists from around the world whose
work focuses on human rights and social justice.
Journalists working in print, broadcast and
Internet media?including freelancers?are
eligible. Applicants should have at least three
years experience in journalism. Excellent
written and verbal English skills are required.

Learn more about the fellowship in this press
release and these FAQs. See also this list of
previous fellows, who include Jenny Manrique
of Colombia. The application is available here.

Separately, the IWMF is seeking nominations for
its Courage in Journalism Awards. Past winners
from Latin Americas include Lydia Cacho and
Maribel Gutierrez Moreno from Mexico; Mabel
Rehnfeldt, Paraguay; Marielos Monzon, Guatemala;
Jineth Bedoya Lima and Maria Jimena Duzan,
Colombia; and Blanca Rosales Valencia, Peru.
Nominations can be made here.
