Ivestigative Reporters and Editors Fellowships for Freelancers

Reminder: Deadline approaches for IRE's new fellowship awards for
freelance investigative journalists

Application postmark deadline: April 30, 2008

Freelance journalists looking to launch investigative projects have a
new source of financial support. IRE's Freelance Journalism
Fellowships will provide at least two freelance investigative
journalists at least $1,000 apiece to conduct their projects. (The
number and amount of fellowships is dependent upon how much income the
fellowship fund generates.) Fellowship winners will be announced in
June.

The 2008 applications will be scrutinized by three experienced
freelance journalists; they are ineligible for the fellowships while
serving on the committee. Proposals will be judged in part on the
breadth, significance and potential impact of the investigative
project. For more information on the fellowships, and to download an
application form, please see:

Questions? Please contact IRE staff member John Green via telephone
(573-882-2772) or email (jgreen@ire.org).

Regards,

John
