IWMF Calls for Neuffer Fellowship Applications

The International Women’s Media Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2010-11 Elizabeth Neuffer Fellowship, which is open to women journalists focusing on human rights and social justice.

Named for the 1998 IWMF Courage in Journalism Award winner and Boston Globe correspondent who was killed in Iraq in May 2003, the fellowship allows one woman journalist to spend an academic year in a tailored program with access to Boston-area universities as well as the Boston Globe and The New York Times.

Applications will be accepted until April 9, 2010, and the fellowship will run from September 2010 – May 2011.
