California Broadcast Journalists Invited to Apply for USC Annenberg/California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowship Program

The USC Annenberg/California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships program invites professional broadcast journalists from around California working in general circulation and ethnic media to apply for fellowship seminars. The fellowships are funded by a grant from the California Endowment and offered by the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication.

The California Broadcast Journalism Fellowship brings together television, radio, and multimedia journalists to improve their skills and expand their knowledge on critical health topics. During hands-on workshops, field trips, and seminars, fellows hear from prize-winning journalists and leaders in health and medicine.

The program is designed to enable fellows to return to their newsrooms with new ideas about how to produce compelling stories on air and online about current health issues.

For 2009, fellowship seminars will be held February 19-22, 2009 (Session 1) and May 28-31, 2009 (Session 2). Attendance at all seminar sessions is mandatory.

Visit the USC Annenberg School for Communication Web site for complete program information.
