Subject: Overseas Travel Grants and Story Honoraria Available for
Tsunami Coverage
CALLS for new stories for AMF's TSUNAMI SERIES: A Year Later
News crews have long left the areas hit by the Dec. 26, 2004 tsunami,
but stories still need to be told about how communities are coping,
where aid is going, what local initiatives are underway, how women
and other groups are dealing with life afterwards, and societies
perhaps forever changed by the disaster.
In keeping with its aim of encouraging consistent, local and relevant
reporting, the Asia Media Forum is now accepting proposals for
quality, in-depth stories from tsunami-hit countries and communities
for a series to be published on the AMF website by the time of the
December anniversary.
The series is open to journalists from Thailand, Indonesia, India,
Sri Lanka and the Maldives, who would travel to another tsunami-hit
country to look at comparisons with their home countries, or show
common lessons learned from the disaster. Journalists can choose to
write in English or in their local languages.
Proposals need to contain: (a) specific story angle to be explored
(b) specific place (province, district) to be visited in second
country (c) varied kinds of sources to be interviewed (c) letter from
editor/publication committing to journalist's participation (d) a
resume (e) two samples of work
The Asia Media Forum will give priority to the following themes:
land rights, aid monitoring, children, livelihoods, gender and rights
issues, culture, community responses to disaster, and stories lots of
local colour and which seek to bring out under-reported angles.
Accepted journalists will produce stories/a set of stories of at
least 2,500 words. They would get small grants to travel to another
tsunami-hit country for about a week, and an honoraria upon full
submission, completion of work.
The stories need to be published in the writers' own publication, on
the AMF website
(<http://www.asiamediaforum.org>www.asiamediaforum.org) and will be
distributed to regional and international media and users by Inter
Press Service Asia-Pacific.
Journalists whose stories were accepted in the AMF tsunami six-month
series are eligible for selection in this one-year series.
Please send proposals to
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] by Oct. 28,
2005.
