About Coda Story Bruno Reporting Fellowships

The Fellowships support two 10-month reporting projects that culminate in a notable story to be published on Coda's website and editorial partners' websites. The Bruno Reporting Fellowship is designed to benefit early career journalists working in countries where journalism is under-resourced and the issues pertinent to Coda's editorial concerns are under-scrutinized.

Their goal is to create an environment where hungry early-career journalists can learn and challenge themselves in a supportive and rigorous environment. The fellows will become a trusted part of the team and newsroom, are expected to contribute ideas, and to produce regular reporting, including at least one long-form piece.

• Sponsor Organisation: Coda Media
