Initially, applicants will be asked to submit a CV and a pitch for a potential investigation of their choosing. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to an interview session, and the two successful candidates will join our newsroom at the beginning of November. For the next eight months, fellows will have the chance to get involved in Reporter’s United cross-border or local, ongoing or new environmental investigations.
Each fellow will receive structured mentorship. Eurydice Bersi, the project’s leader, is a senior environmental journalist with extensive cross-border experience and a broad EU network of collaborators. She will guide the reporting fellow on the particular challenges of environmental reporting. Konstantina Maltepioti, a Columbia-trained data journalist, will teach the data fellow how to collect, analyse and visualise environmental data through computational and geospatial methodologies.
Overall, fellows will be fully included in our investigative process, from idea development to data analysis, field reporting, and story production.
Mentors: Eurydice Bersi, Konstantina Maltepioti
