From 8 October to 7 November, young newspaper editors from a developing country with a minimum of five years experience are invited to apply for the International Center for Journalists’ (ICFJ) International Journalism Exchange.

Participants spend one week in Washington, D.C. where they will meet editors of major US newspapers and learn about journalism in the US capital. They will then be sent to various parts of the country to work at newspapers of the same size circulation as their own. The editors will spend one month learning about the cultural and professional aspects of reporting for a community paper in the U.S. A two-day event in New York will conclude the program where, in addition to touring the city and visiting media organizations, participants will be given the opportunity to visit The New York Times.

Ten spots are available to editors from developing countries. For further information visit http://www.icfj.org/ije.html.

The application deadline is 1 June.
