{UAH} Applications for the UK Government’s new Chevening Africa Media Freedom Fellowship open 3 September 2020

Applications for the Chevening Africa Media Freedom Fellowship to study in the UK are open between 3 September and 3 November 2020, with applications to be submitted via www.chevening.org/camff.

The fellowship is an eight-week residential course to be delivered by the University of Westminster, in London, from September to October/November 2021 and is designed for those involved in setting and pushing the boundaries of trust, standards and freedom in the media in 11 countries in sub-Saharan Africa including: senior journalists at public service and independent media; senior staff at media regulators; statistics agencies responsible for releasing information; and media NGOs.

This new fellowship offers a unique opportunity to create international networks as fellows work together to explore the mechanisms through which public trust in the media can be restored, and the boundaries of media freedom.

The fellowship will be delivered by the University of Westminster's Dr Winston Mano, a leading academic expert on communication in Africa and director of the University's Africa Media Centre, and Peter Cunliffe-Jones, who founded Africa Check – the continent's leading independent fact-checking organisation.
