2014-2015 Nieman Notice-1

INVITATION FOR APPLICATIONS
2014-2015 NIEMAN FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
The Asia Foundation is inviting Korean candidates for consideration as a nominee for the
2014-2015 Harvard Nieman Fellowship. This prestigious Fellowship is awarded to print,
broadcast and online reporters, editors, photographers, producers, and editorial writers with
full-time, professional experience in the news media. It allows for journalists from the U.S. and
other countries to come to Harvard University for a year of learning and exploration in a
subject of one’s choosing.
The upcoming Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University is scheduled to begin in September of
2014 to May of 2015 and a Korean candidate will be jointly sponsored by The Asia Foundation,
Sungkok Journalism Foundation, and YBM, Inc. Nomination by The Asia Foundation does not
ensure acceptance as a Nieman fellow. Final selection is made by the Nieman Foundation.
If the Korean nominee is given final approval by the Nieman Foundation, he or she will be
provided with round-trip airfare, tuition, and partial living allowance.
There are no educational prerequisites to apply for the Nieman Fellowship. Nevertheless,
applicants must be currently full-time employed with at least five years of professional
experience in journalism. All applicants must also be fluent in written and spoken English. In
addition, the applicants should not have participated in any fellowship programs within the past
two years or taken a leave of absence from work that lasted longer than four months during that
time.
Interested applicants are required to submit the following to The Asia Foundation Korea
Office:
– Korean and English curriculum vitae
– English personal statement of 1,000 words or less that describes his/her journalistic
experience and career plans and aspirations
– A Letter of recommendation from the head of his/her affiliation
– A certificate issued by TOEFL or IELTS which evaluates both spoken and written
English proficiency
A joint committee of The Asia Foundation, Sungkok Journalism Foundation, and YBM, Inc.
will review the applications, and selected candidates will be contacted for interviews in midOctober. Please note that the applicant selected by the joint committee will still be subject to
final approval by the Nieman Foundation at Harvard University, thus the nomination does not
guarantee automatic acceptance as a Nieman Fellow. All applicants will however be notified of
the results of the review by the Korean screening committee by late-October.
Application Deadline
All application materials should reach The Asia Foundation office at Bunam Building, 7th
Floor, 63-7 Gyeongun-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 110-310 or via e-mail to [email protected]
no later than October 15, 2013. For more information, please contact Ms. Lee Ji-eun at Tel:
