Детальний опис англійською:
The IWMF is pleased to announce its first-ever team reporting trip to El Salvador and Guatemala in September/October 2017. The IWMF will select five pairs of women journalists that will travel to San Salvador and Guatemala City for a cross-border reporting trip focused on underreported stories. This opportunity is part of the Adelante Latin America Reporting Initiative. The work of the 51 IWMF Adelante Fellows has been published and aired by leading media outlets around the world. The IWMF will continue to lead reporting trips to Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and the Mexico-United States border until 2020.
ABOUT THE CROSS-BORDER REPORTING TRIP:
The trip will take place September 20 – October 7, 2017, which includes travel dates. All Fellows will begin their trip in Mexico City, where they will complete a comprehensive security training and an orientation about Latin America and Adelante focused countries from September 21 to 24. Fellows then depart for six days of in-country independent reporting from San Salvador, El Salvador (September 25-30), followed by six days of in-country independent reporting from Guatemala City, Guatemala (October 1 to 6). Fellows will have the opportunity to network with in-country journalists, collaborate with international peers, and access a wide range of sources and sites relevant to their reporting.
The IWMF reserves the right to change reporting locations based on the real-time security situation in both locations. The feasibility of day trips outside the base locations will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and determined by IWMF security protocols.
