Fellowships
< Learn more
The Daniel Pearl Journalism Fellowships, established in partnership with the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships, brings mid-career foreign journalists from the Middle East and South Asia for nearly six months to work at mainstream U.S. newsrooms, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal. They also spend a week at the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, for which some of them still write and blog. At the end of their stay, they share their experiences at a free public event hosted by the Los Angeles Press Club. The impact of the fellowship through their work reaches hundreds of thousands of people in their countries when they return.
Daniel Pearl Youth News
< Learn more
Daniel Pearl Youth News is an international program for high school/secondary school students. Through our four-part training course, we help young journalists develop writing skills, while instilling in them the critical importance of media literacy and unbiased reporting, whether they are the authors or consumers of news. In the training course and mentoring by professional journalists, we emphasize ethics in journalism, integrity, and truth in reporting, which are the cornerstones of a reporter’s credibility. Upon completing the course, students become certified Daniel Pearl Reporters and can post their articles on the Youth News website. We ask that their first story be on the broad topic of tolerance in keeping with the foundation’s mission.
