Deadline: 23-Sep-22
The International News Media Association (INMA) and Google News Initiative (GNI) are inviting applications for Elevate Scholarship to accelerate learnings for professionals from under-represented groups who are committed to growing the news business and aspire to global best practices.
The Elevate Scholarship programme is designed to strengthen the future of the news business by embracing and elevating historically under-represented and disadvantaged groups below the senior management level at news media companies.
Through Elevate Scholarships, the International News Media Association and the Google News Initiative want to equip new faces and voices with strong news industry fundamentals as well as networking and mentoring opportunities.
Removing obstacles for equitable inclusion in news industry training and development can shatter the glass ceiling for professionals from under-represented groups, which hampers innovation and the future of news media.
Benefits
- Equitable inclusion

- Be employed by a news media company.
