NAM's 2012 Women Immigrants Fellowship – Apply Now

posted on: Jan 21, 2012

The deadline is approaching to apply for New America Media’s 2012 Immigration Fellowship, “Women on the Move,” a national fellowship program open to both ethnic media and mainstream media reporters to report on women immigrants.

We’d like to encourage you to apply and to pass this on to any journalists you think might be interested! Applications are due this Monday, January 23. Fellows will receive a $2,000 stipend following publication of the story in their media outlet and on New America Media.

Women are now the majority of immigrants in the U.S. and in many ways immigration can be seen as a feminist issue. In 2009, New America Media released a multilingual poll of women immigrants in the U.S. This year we are launching our 2012 Immigration Fellowship for journalists across the country to report on the intersection of immigration and gender.

The fellowship includes a two-day training in Washington, D.C., on April 19-20, 2012; and the publication of an in-depth, substantive story (or series) focusing on the challenges and/or triumphs of immigrant women in the United States.
