One World Media Fellowship 2024 (£1,000 grant)

This informs the public about the One World Media Fellowship 2024. Details about the Program are given below.

One World Media Fellowship 2024

The Fellowship is aimed at aspiring journalists and filmmakers from the global south. Working in film, print, audio, photography or multimedia, the fellows seek to make a career out of reporting the global south, raising awareness and breaking down prejudices with integrity and creativity.

Program Details

Since 2001, One World Media has supported nearly 300 emerging journalists and filmmakers to report from over 100 countries. OWM provides each Fellow with a £1,000 grant, one-to-one mentoring, invaluable workshops and webinars by industry experts.

We seek to champion diverse emerging talent and particularly encourage submissions from underrepresented groups (people of colour, ethnic groups, women, LGBTQ+, or people with disabilities).

Benefit

  • £1,000 reporting grant
  • Executive Producer for their project who acts as a mentor
  • Workshops and webinars by industry experts
  • Fair Reporting and Security Guidance
  • Network of like-minded Fellows and Alumni

Eligibility

  • Projects in pre-production that tell engaging stories from low- and middle-income countries across the global south
  • Non-fiction media across all platforms: film, print, audio, photojournalism, and multimedia
  • Proposals where the majority of the budget is in place or achievable in a short time frame
  • Projects that can be delivered within a year – for films, this is under 30 mins
  • Stories that are strong enough to be published or broadcast in established media outlets. We are looking for genuine journalism or documentaries and will fund media that could ultimately appear in existing newspapers, magazines, radio, TV channels, professional news websites, online platforms, etc.

Beyond this, we are particularly interested in proposals that:

  • Seek to tell underreported stories in a way that will engage the intended audience
  • Highlight the voices of people living in the global south, particularly voices that are not often heard.
  • Have established contacts/contributors who have confirmed their willingness to take part
  • Have considered safety
  • Demonstrate an understanding of accountability and fair practice in reporting.
  • Employ ethical filmmaking practices when working with contributors
