The International Center for Journalists' International Journalism Exchange will bring ten young newspaper editors with at least five years' experience from the developing world (including Central and Eastern Europe) to the U.S. from October 7 to November 11.
The International Journalism Exchange is now accepting applications until June 1.
Participants will spend a week in Washington, D.C. where they will get to meet editors at major U.S. newspapers and learn about journalism in the capital. Then, they will head out to different parts of the country to work at a newspaper with about the same size circulation as the newspaper they left in their home country. There, the editors will spend one month learning about the cultural and professional aspects of reporting for a community paper in the U.S. The program ends with a two-day event in New York where, in addition to touring the city and visiting media organizations, participants will get to visit the country's most prestigious
newspaper, the New York Times.
