Journalists Invited to Participate in National Health Journalism Fellowship Seminar

The National Health Journalism Fellowship Seminar at the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication in Los Angeles is open to professional print, broadcast, and online journalists from around the United States who have a passion for health news. The 2009 program (October 4-9, 2009) will explore the intersection between community health, health policy, and the nation's growing diversity.

In field trips and seminars, program participants will learn about health trends, policy innovations, and political conflicts involving health care. The program is designed to provide participants with a broader and more nuanced awareness of immigrant health, health disparities, access to care, farm worker health, and the nation's frayed safety net.

The program offers a $2,000 stipend to fellows upon completion of what are expected to be ambitious, major fellowship projects. To encourage collaboration between mainstream and ethnic media, the program supports applicants who propose a joint project for use by both media outlets. Each collaborator will receive a stipend.

For further information, see the USC Annenberg Web site.
