Liebe FoME-Mitglieder,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Wie sagt man so schoen im Amerikanischen: "we're on a roll"! Nachdem die IWMF letzte Woche den <a href="http://www.iwmf.org/our-impact/howard-g-buffett-fund-for-women-journalists/">Fund for Women Journalists</a> ausgeschrieben haben, starten wir diese
Woche mit einer Ausschreibung für Reportage-Reisen nach Tansania und der Dem. Republik Congo (weitere Infos im Media Advisory unten).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Journalistinnen aus aller Welt können sich auf einen von 12 Plätzen für anstehende Reisen im Juni 2015 bewerben.</div>
<div>Im Rahmen der <a href="http://www.iwmf.org/our-impact/african-great-lakes-reporting-initiative/">African Great Lakes Reporting Initiative</a> wollen wir bis 2019 über 250 internationale Journalistinnen nach Zentral- und Ostafrika bringen. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Viele Grüße aus Washington,</div>
<div>Anna</div>

conflicts, and humanitarian crisis in the region. The African Great Lakes Reporting Initiative was created in 2014, building on the success of earlier IWMF reporting trips to the Western Sahara and DRC. To date, 32 journalists have covered a wide range of
under-reported issues including issues of empowerment, democracy, food security, and conservation efforts. Their work has been produced and published by leading media outlets around the world.</span></span></p>

Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. By 2019, more than 250 reporters will have together reshaped traditional media narratives about this complicated region full of promise. The African Great Lakes Reporting Initiative is funded by a generous gift from
the Howard G. Buffett Foundation.</span></span></p>
