Eight journalists from all over India have been selected for the 2011 Inclusive Media Fellowships of the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS). The recipients of the 2011 fellowships include three women reporters. For investigative and meaningful journalism, the fellows will spend time with rural communities to bring out their issues and anxieties for public and policy intervention.

The Inclusive Media Project of CSDS also conducts media research and runs a unique resource centre, im4change.org, on India’s rural crises.

A fellowship Jury comprising Mr Aniruddha Bahal, investigative journalist and Editor-in-Chief Cobrapost, Ms Seema Chishti, Columnist and Senior Editor, Indian Express, Mr. Nikhil Dey, Convenor National Campaign for Peoples’ Right to Information (NCPRI), Urmilesh, Executive Editor, Rajya Sabha TV, and Professor Yogendra Yadav, of the CSDS, selected the media fellows after a meticulous process. The fellowship jury assessed the candidates on the basis of criteria that included the relevance of their project proposals for rural livelihoods, the clarity, depth and innovativeness of the project and story ideas, candidates’ grasp of the subject, writing and analytical skills, among others. The selected candidates and their newspapers are also being notified individually.

The list of the 2011 Inclusive Media Fellows is as follows:
 
1. Abu Zafar, to write for the IANS, (project on the state of primary education, particularly of the girl child, in the schools and madarsas of Azamgarh district of UP). Delhi-based freelance journalist Abu Zafar hails from Azamgarh. He has worked with IANS and has been freelancing for TwoCircles.net also. He also writes for some Urdu journals including Afkar-e-Milli monthly published from Delhi.

2. Anupam Trivedi of Hindustan Times, Dehradun, (Project on distress migration within India and abroad from Uttarakhand Hills).

3. Baba Mayaram of Chhattisgarh Post (Project on high input farming and agrarian distress in Hoshangabad and Harda district of Madhya Pradesh)

4. Panini Anand, to write for Rajashtan Patrika (Project on dalit mass movements for social justice in Baran, Alwar, Seekar, Bhilwara and Barmer districts of Rajasthan).

5. Sangeeta Barua Pisharotty to write for the Hindu (project on loss of livelihoods of the indigenous people of Majuli island in Assam due to shrinking land mass).

8. Ratna Bharali Talukdar, to write for the Eastern Panorama (Project on the impact of the recent earthquake on human lives and ecology in Sikkim and the indigenous coping mechanisms of the native people)

The Inclusive Media Fellowships are designed to encourage individual media persons to deeply interact with rural communities of this vast country to understand and write about their issues and, in the long-run, specialize on aspects of India’s rural crises. One of the main objectives of the Inclusive Media Project is to increase and sharpen the understanding about rural India’s multiple crises in the mainstream media.
