FINANCIAL TIMES AFRICA JOURNALISM FELLOWSHIP WITH ONE WORLD MEDIA 2023 FOR MID PROFESSIONAL JOURNALIST
Register for the FT One World Media Fellowship Program
Do you have an idea for the next long read from Sub-Saharan Africa that could go in the Financial Times? We’re excited to announce a new partnership to make this happen.
n collaboration with the FT, we’re looking for a mid-career journalist from, based in and covering Sub-Saharan Africa, with an ambitious written story to tell a global audience.
Think big. This might be what you’d expect to see on the home page of one of the world’s biggest newspapers.
We’re looking for a great writer with some experience who can break down a complex story in simple language, compellingly, in a way that has wide appeal and relatability. The selected Fellow will produce a piece of long-form journalism – an economic or business story from the region that resonates with FT’s global audience.
The FT Fellow will join the existing One World Media Fellowship cohort to learn alongside a talented worldwide peer group while receiving guidance and a reporting grant of £1,000.
The FT will provide further training, editorial support and one-to-one mentoring from senior editors, with the aim of showcasing the final piece at their global platform.

- Open for entries: 7 September 2023
