India faced a second and worse wave of COVID-19 pandemic a few months back. The unemployment problem is looming large in the country. At this juncture, the country requires journalism to tell the stories of courage, of loss and grief and also of resilience, of the state of preparedness and about the efforts being made by communities, individuals, civil society and government.

For better media coverage of critical issues like human rights, inclusive democracy, governance, corruption, climate changes, healthcare access during COVID-19, etc., the National Foundation for India (NFI) is launching the third window of its media fellowships for independent journalists (both text-based stories and multimedia stories) who report in Hindi language.

In this third round, up to 30-35 fellowships are available for reporting in Hindi, out of which 10 fellowships would be given for multimedia reporting in Hindi. For the purpose of multimedia reporting in Hindi, NFI has partnered with The Quint Hindi (https://hindi.thequint.com/). 

* About the fellowship

Each fellow will be granted INR 30,000 to publish one text-based story of 1,000-1,500 words (or a multimedia story spanning 5-7 minutes) on a broad range of themes and issues of public interest, reported in depth over one month.

If required, NFI will connect the grantee to a senior journalist as a mentor to guide and help the grantee in reporting better.  

* Selection of fellows

An NFI-appointed jury of eminent journalists selects the grantees based on the detailed application. 

Weightage is given to candidates from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Names of selected fellows are announced within 3 weeks of the application window closing. Successful candidates are informed by email and through announcement on the NFI website.

Applications for Round-3 are now open till September 28th, 2021.

* Who can apply?

Journalists who meet the following two criteria:

1. Independent journalists not engaged on a full-time basis with any media organisation.

2. Journalists who are Indian citizens and residing in India.

* Definition of an independent journalist

The following fall into our working definition of ‘independent journalists’:

You are either

A “working journalist”, whose primary vocation and source of livelihood is journalism. But you are not employed on a full-time basis with benefits of a salaried employee by any organisation.

Or,

You are a pass-out from a journalism college and not employed full-time by either a media organisation or any other kind of organisation.
