Wits Journalism China-Africa
Reporting Grants
(South Africa/ Africa-wide)
Wits Journalism is offering reporting grants to African journalists interested in unpacking the China-Africa relationship.
CHINA-AFRICA REPORTING GRANTS:
China's engagement with Africa is rapidly growing, but is the media in Africa keeping pace with these changes or giving the relationship the attention it deserves?
Wits Journalism's China-Africa Reporting Project is offering reporting grants to African journalists interested in unpacking the China-Africa relationship. We are looking for proposals for original, topical stories about China's presence and influence in Africa. The reporting grants are available to cover travel, accommodation and other expenses to enable research.
Applications should include an outline of the story idea, a travel plan and buget, short resume and two examples of published work. Journalists should also indicate where the article would be published and supply a letter of support from the editor where applicable.
Bursaries are also available for Masters students focusing on China-Africa issues.
