FPF Fellowships*


The Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships (AFPF), an American non-profit,
non-governmental organization, is a cultural and professional exchange
program for journalists. Through AFPF, journalists and their readers gain a
broader view of the world and journalism thereby creating mutual
understanding and peaceful relations between Americans and people of other
nations. Fellows return home with new journalistic skills and knowledge, and
a desire to advance a free, responsible press in their own countries–without
which democracy does not exist.


Since 1984, the core program has provided developing world journalists the
opportunity to work as reporters at American newspapers for five months. The
program, which runs from mid-March to early September, is offered annually
to print and online journalists between the ages of 25 and 35.



While in the U.S., Fellows spend the majority of their time reporting for
their American host newspapers but are also encouraged to attend conferences
and workshops, read journalism books, and make short-term professional
visits to organizations that are relevant to their work at home. Special
AFPF seminars are organized for the Fellows at the beginning, middle and end
of the program. Upon returning home, Fellows organize and lead seminars
based on the knowledge and skills gained through their AFPF experiences.
