'The Best Opportunity to Learn:' RFE/RL’s Regional Reporting Fellowship

The 2022 cohort of RFE/RL Regional Reporting Fellows recently visited Prague for one week of advanced training and networking opportunities with RFE/RL journalists and Czech media outlets. Funded by the U.S. Department of State, the Regional Reporting Fellowship combines eight months of full-time work as reporters in RFE/RL field bureaus with training and mentoring by RFE/RL journalists – an experience, the Fellows agreed, that was "the best opportunity for young regional journalists to learn from their professional colleagues." The Regional Reporting Fellowship is open to aspiring journalists from Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Ukraine.
