Application

We invite up to ten US journalists - reporters, producers, stringers and editors - in the early stages of covering or interested in covering the Middle East region to apply to our 2023 fellowship program.

From March to June, selected candidates will participate in a series of webinars and in-person meetings with lecturers, experts and analyst covering diverse and different subjects pertaining to the region. We will also cover the actual on-the-ground reporting challenges and opportunities in the Middle East region. Fellows will be awarded a $5000 stipend, travel costs to D.C., where in-person meetings will take place, and a certificate from Moment Institute at completion of the program.

For the application form we ask you to provide work samples, two references and two short (500 word) essays about your professional experiences and goals and your reasons for applying to our program.

Applications will be processed upon submission. Selected candidates will be invited to a 20- to 30-minute virtual interview. (If you receive a confirmation for your application saying you submitted to the Karma Fiction Contest, please, don’t worry. We will have received your application. We are working with Submittable to undo the glitch!)

Application forms are open until we have confirmed the class or until March 15, 2023.

Once confirmed, we will ask you for a headshot and a 100-word biography for our announcement on our website.
