In September 2020, Amnesty International halted its operations in India, with the UK-based organisation publishing a report warning of a coordinated effort to silence journalists and activists in the region.
The Indian government “must immediately halt its intensifying suppression of dissent,” said Amnesty International, following a series of raids on journalists and human rights groups in Jammu and Kashmir.
Since then, the situation has deteriorated from bad to worse, particularly for journalists in Kashmir, culminating with the recent arrest of Fahad Shah, a journalist and founding editor of The Kashmir Walla.
Amantha Perera, Project Lead for Dart Centre Asia Pacific, reflects on how press freedom is being eroded, not only in Kashmir, but in other Asia Pacific regions.
The Dart Center's third inaugural International Early Childhood Journalism Initiative are virtual programs -- one global in scope, one focused on Brazil, and a third aimed at Latin America broadly -- that aim to illuminate issues related to young children’s growth and development, and the well-being of their caregivers. The three programs will support 36 journalists with reporting stipends, coaching and mentoring, and monthly webinars to build and deepen knowledge on early childhood development and its intersection with the most pressing issues of today. The deadline has passed. Selected applicants will be informed by April 14, followed by a public announcement of three new cohorts in mid-May.
The Ochberg Fellowship is the Dart Center's flagship program for senior and mid-career journalists who wish to deepen their knowledge of emotional trauma and psychological injury, and improve reporting on violence, conflict and tragedy. This year's fellowship will be held July 22-28 at Columbia University in New York City. Application deadline was February 22. Late applications will not be accepted.
