for this WPI fellowship.
Scholarship Description: The WPI fellowship is offered to 10 journalists from countries around
the world. It provides immersion into the governance, politics, business,
media, journalistic ethics and culture of the United States for experienced
international journalists, through a demanding schedule of study, travel and
interviews throughout the country. The program usually begins in mid-August and
end in mid-October. The fellows will spend three weeks in Minneapolis-St. Paul,
Minnesota, and then travel to several U.S. cities, including New York and
Washington, D.C., for briefings, interviews and visits. They will return to
Minnesota for the final week of the program. See the Program Review for
examples of WPI events. Journalism — in particular, the role and
responsibilities of a free press in a democracy— is the primary focus of the
WPI fellowship program. First-hand knowledge of the complexity and diversity of
life in the U.S. is an equally important goal. Access is the key. Over the term
of the fellowship, WPI fellows gain access to a broad range of individuals and
institutions ranging from the world renowned to the ordinary.
