Starting from April 2020, the media fellows will work out of four offices in Nigeria and will get a chance to work with Paradigm Initiative teams in Cameroon, Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo and Ghana.

Only journalists working (affiliated with mainstream print and online newspapers) in Africa are eligible to apply.

The fellowship seeks to expose media professionals to an underreported field of work in national/regional development and hopes to increase reporting on digital rights and inclusion in Africa.
