FRONTLINE World Fellows Case Studies

The FRONTLINE/World Fellowship program is designed to nurture new voices in international reporting and widen the spectrum of stories available to the public, using a PBS web site and interactive media formats as a publishing platform for outstanding work from a new generation of journalists. The project is cosponsored by Frontline and the U.C. Berkeley graduate school of journalism and Columbia University’s journalism program. The project is supported by Carnegie Corporation of New York and The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. A limited number of fellowships are awarded to current students and recent graduates of leading journalism schools who show exceptional promise and propose detailed plans to report on an international story not currently covered in the mainstream media. The multimedia stories, many of them exploring conflict, posted so far include:
