The Daniel Pearl Journalism Fellowship established in partnership with the Alfred Friendly Press Partners brings mid-career journalists from the Mideast and South Asia for nearly six months to mainstream U.S. newsrooms, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal, to work in an environment where freedom of the press and speaking truth to power are in evidence every day. They also spend a week at the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, where they get a different perspective of the Jewish community than they might have received in their home countries. At the end of their stay, they share their experiences at a free public event hosted by the Los Angeles Press Club. The 2013 fellows, pictured above, are Emran Hossain of Bangladesh, left, and Khalid Khattak of Pakistan.

Daniel Pearl Youth News is an international news website for high school/secondary school students. Students can join the news team as a Daniel Pearl Reporter after successfully completing an online certification course, which is provided at no cost and writing their first stories focusing on a broad theme of tolerance. From writing leads to finding sources and conducting interviews, this program uses professional journalists as mentors and teaches reporting techniques and the ethics of journalism, which are the cornerstone of a reporter's credibility. The class, offered multiple times during the year, is designed hone the students' media literacy and writing skills.
