Knight-Bagehot Fellowship in Economics and Business Journalism
The Knight-Bagehot Fellowship in Economics and Business Journalism
offers qualified journalists the opportunity to enhance their
understanding and knowledge of business, economics and finance in a
year-long, full-time program administered by the journalism school.
Fellows take courses at Columbia's graduate schools of journalism,
business, law and international affairs; participate in off-the-record
seminars and dinner meetings with corporate executives, economists and
academics; and attend briefings and field trips to New York-based media
companies and financial institutions.
The program is designed to meet the public interest in business and economics news and the demand for trained editors and reporters in the field. In scope and depth, it is considered the most comprehensive business journalism fellowship in the country.
Eligible Knight-Bagehot fellows may qualify for a Master of Science degree in journalism upon completion of this rigorous program.
Conducted during Columbia’s academic year from August through May, the fellowship accepts up to 10 fellows each year. Fellows receive free tuition plus a stipend to offset living expenses in New York City. For the 2014 academic year, a stipend of $55,000 will be granted to each fellow. Housing is available in a Columbia-affiliated facility.
The fellowship is named for the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, of Miami, which has established an endowment for the program; and Walter Bagehot, the 19th-century editor of The Economist. The Knight Foundation has been the principal sponsor of the fellowship since 1987. The program also depends on grants from a number of other charitable foundations, corporations and publishing organizations for a portion of its annual budget.
The fellowship’s sponsors have no role in the selection of fellows or the organization of the fellowship’s curriculum, which are controlled by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Mediterranea16 Young Artists Biennial Open Call
Bjcem and the City of Ancona announce the launch of Mediterranea16
Young Artists Biennial, an international multidisciplinary event, taking
place in Ancona, Italy, from June 6th to July 7th 2013, bringing together more the 250 artists.
Started in 1985, the Biennial takes place every two years in a different city in the Mediterranean area focusing on young artists and creators. Bjcem is an international network with more than 70 members and partners from Europe, Middle East and Africa which, thanks to their support, make the event possible ensuring the participation of artists from the territories they represent.
The call is open to visual artists, filmmakers, writers, performers, musicians, designers and cultural researchers under the age of 35 (born after December 31st 1977). Artists have to present one specific proposal related to the concept. There are no submission fees and the opportunity is open to everyone regardless of gender, religion, social and political behaviours. Artists that have participated in more than one previous edition can’t apply, priority will be given to artists that have never attended the event.
NEW DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: FEBRUARY, 17th 2013.
Artists will be selected by the curatorial team composed by: Charlotte Bank, Alessandro Castiglioni, Nadira Laggoune, Delphine Leccas, Slobodne Veze/Loose Associations, Marco Trulli and Claudio Zecchi. They will co-operate as a collective for the selection of the artists and the design of the event.
The curators will select the participants on the basis of the presented materials. Their decision is final and not subject to appeal. The results will be documented in a report, presenting the reasons for the choice of artists. Quality of work and how well your proposal meets the concept will be basic selection criteria.
If your work is selected you will be invited to attend the event and present your work. The organisation will provide shipment of the work, insurance, installation, production of site specific projects, travel, board and lodging and support for visa requests.
No fees will be provided for the artists participating in the Biennial.
The submission of an application automatically implies the complete acceptance of the present regulations.
The present announcement shall be governed by the law of the country in which you send your application.
N.B. Artists coming from Austria, France, Italy and Spain are strongly recommended to read the FAQs below.
N.B. Currently the call is not open on Portuguese territory.
We invite artists to participate in this international open call, in order to offer their views on the concept with the aim of bringing a number of different contributions to rethinking society as a place where Utopian ideas still reside, as well as investigating the idea of education that goes beyond its current status of simply offering tools and services to increase one’s personal competitiveness on the labour market.
We encourage risk taking, freedom of thinking, imagining and acting, and the re-conceptualization of the present, developing critical potential and questioning hegemonic systems.
In the last two years many countries from the Mediterranean area has seen massive economic, political and social changes. How have these changes influenced the production of art? Considering the general instability and the continuing fluctuations we decided to explore this and the potential of the social, cultural and political transition and to exhibit artists who are working on experimental forms, questioning the role of art in the society.
This new socio-economic situation has led to new forms of artistic production: artists have to a large degree changed their way of working, from individual to collective practices, with a growing interest in anonymous works and actions and a renewed focus on the idea of the public space as a ground for narrative practices. This has been paralleled by an increasing necessity to re-claim urban spaces for citizenship’s practices, experimenting new forms of understanding in the society.
More over, in this multidimensional crisis context, the simple act of meeting, discussing and sharing ideas implies the possibility of expanding the spectrum of our own views, skills and awareness. It is not just a purely practical opportunity but a necessity in terms of planning self strategies of evolution.
Finally, it means to take possession of a common narration (method) and, therefore, of a community (principle) which can propel the process of sharing. Implementing narrations and stories growing for cellular proliferation, without boundaries. This process follows a circular path and it is set in a collective space, where free and independent practices of learning and artistic production occur.
These “Informal strategies“ are employed in many regions of the world not out of choice but a necessity born out of limitations due to factors such as class, ethnicity or the degree of social connectedness. With access to official education severely limited, self-education – undertaken individually by seeking alternative means of learning or through a process of sharing and exchange – represents a powerful form of resistance. In this way, self-education becomes an active and dynamic reaction to the attempt to impose set patterns of knowledge, typical of systems run by state authoritarianism and censorship.
This Biennial also deals with resistance, in every possible form, to the regimes of knowledge. That’s why we are looking for artists who pursue, challenge and push the limits of their work, investigating: possible realities, structures and systems of communication, dynamics of information, methodologies of educations and the practices of sharing.

Social Justice Reporting for a Global America: International Reporting Fellowship Program for U.S.-based Journalists
Plagued by the twin challenges of a slow economy and digital
disruption, many U.S. news organizations are cutting back on foreign
coverage and are shrinking their editorial staffs.
But journalists can play an essential role in raising awareness around international social justice issues, including women’s rights, corruption, human trafficking, poverty, religious tolerance, environmental issues, migration and education.
It is with this in mind that ICFJ announces the Social Justice Reporting for a Global America Program, sponsored by the Ford Foundation.
Through this fellowship, U.S.-based journalists gain foreign reporting experience and an opportunity to cover important international social justice issues around the world.
Similar to ICFJ's "Bringing Home the World Fellowship for Minority Journalists," the Social Justice Reporting for a Global America Program is open to all U.S.-based journalists.
Applicants must present a project proposal in their application, detailing the reporting project they would be interested in pursuing.
The deadline for submitting applications is February 8, 2013.
Selected journalists attend a week-long orientation at ICFJ’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., in May 2013, where they will fine-tune their reporting projects and will gain new reporting skills to work overseas. Following orientation, fellows will report in the field for up to two weeks. Upon returning to the United States, they will finish their stories and broadcast or publish them by September 30, 2013.
