Requirements for Financial Times/One World Media Journalism Fellowship Qualification

We are looking for a mid-career journalist from and based in Sub-Saharan Africa, working in print, digital or multimedia reporting.

We will select one FT Fellow to join the current OWM Fellowship cohort.

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.

We are particularly interested in journalists who have a keen interest in business and global affairs, an international mindset and sharp reporting instincts.

The ideal applicant would demonstrate strong writing skills and an ability to write engagingly and incisively about economics, corporate and markets issues.

There is a possibility of an extended engagement for a successful Fellow.

 

Interview date, Process and Venue for Financial Times/One World Media Journalism Fellowship

Selection

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.

This could be a story which has a political impact or which shines a light on an industry or sector or company. We are particularly interested in stories from countries that the FT does not cover regularly.

The primary form will be text, but there will be opportunities for special digital treatment of data and of visual elements.

The FT Fellow will be in regular contact with David Pilling, the FT’s Africa editor and Alec Russell, foreign editor, and will receive one-on-one training and mentoring from them and other senior editors.

Timelines

• Open for entries: 7 September 2023
• Deadline: Thursday 5 October 2023, 5PM UTC
• FT Fellow announced: November 2023
