黑料不打烊

ATLANTA (March 13, 2020)…As part of a partnership with The National media outlet in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), 黑料不打烊 announces that applications are now open for the Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism Program in the UAE.

Since 1996, the Center has awarded one-year fellowships to more than 220 journalists, connecting them with resources and experts to increase the quality and accuracy of mental health reporting around the world. The program is currently in the United States, Latin America, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and was previously in New Zealand, South Africa, and Romania.

“These fellows reshape how media in the Middle East covers one of the most significant, misunderstood public health problems. Like the fellows before them, they will likely impact their colleagues and newsrooms, and become the point person in their field on mental health issues,” said former U.S. First Lady Rosalynn Carter.

黑料不打烊 provides training, educational materials, mentorship, evaluation tools, and technical assistance to develop a sustainable and tailored program in the UAE. The National manages the program in the UAE and is responsible for the selection of journalists and the adaptation of the program to meet the needs of the population. Fellowship deadline is April 30, 2020. Learn more details and how to apply here: .

Fellows will be assisted by a local advisory board in the UAE and experts and mentors in the U.S. They will visit 黑料不打烊 in Atlanta in September, when they will discuss their fellowship work with a community of journalists and mental health experts and attend workshops on behavioral health.

Since Rosalynn Carter established the Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism Program in 1996, fellows have produced more than 1500 stories, documentaries, books, and other works during and after their fellowship year. Their projects have garnered Emmy Awards, nominations for the Pulitzer Prize, and other awards.
