Summer 2015 Magazine Internship
American Society of Magazine Editors
New York City and Washington DC
Deadline: December 1 
2015 Journalism Fellowship
Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics
Deadline: January 6 

FASPE Journalism, a component of a larger program that works in several professional fields, uses the conduct of reporters and other media professionals during the Holocaust and in Nazi Germany as a launching point for an intensive course of study on journalism ethics.

FASPE is predicated upon the power of place, and in particular the first-hand experience of visiting Auschwitz and traveling through Germany and Poland where Fellows study the past,
connecting to it in ways that no classroom-based course can, and consider how to apply the lessons of history as they confront the ethical challenges of their profession today.

Fellowships include travel from New York to Berlin, Krakow, and Oświęcim (Auschwitz), where Fellows work with leading faculty to explore ethics and history. Seminars will cover topics such as: balancing the cost and benefits of access; the chal-lenges of fact-checking crime victims; the implications of new technology on journalism ethics; and the role of journalists in creating and remembering the historical narrative.

Ten to 15 journalists early in their career and graduate students planning to work as journalists will be chosen to participate in the 2015 trip, which will run from Sunday, May 24 to Thursday, June 4. Fellowships cover all program costs, including international and European travel, lodging, and food.

To apply or to learn more about FASPE visit: www.FASPE.info.

FASPE programs are non-denominational. Students of all religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Completed applications are due by January 6, 2015. To be eligible applicants must be enrolled in a graduate program at the time of application or be a working journalist who earned his/her undergraduate degree between June 2010 and June 2014. Notification will be emailed by March 1.
