Stop TB Partnership
Announcement No. 104 – 14 July 2005
Winners announced for the
PANOS Stop TB Print Media Fellowships
The Panos
Global AIDS Programme and Stop TB Partnership have
awarded fellowships to print journalists from Bangladesh,
Ethiopia, Haiti,
India, Indonesia,
Malawi, Pakistan,
Philippines
and Zambia to
write on issues around TB, and TB & HIV/AIDS. Four fellowships have been
awarded to photo journalists. These fellowships will run from July to October
2005.
The aim of the fellowships is
to enable print and photojournalists to better understand and explore TB as a
major public health issue in their countries, and its linkages with HIV/AIDS,
poverty, urbanisation and other socio-economic
vulnerabilities. In Africa the project will focus on
highlighting the urgency for collaborative TB-HIV actions at all levels to
counter the dual epidemics.
The selected Fellows will
attend initial regional training workshops in Haiti,
Zambia and Nepal.
The workshops will provide journalists with the epidemiological and policy
aspects of TB in their region, as well as orient them to key advocacy and
communication issues around TB. Panos will also
provide journalists with substantive resource material, information on
relevant web-sites and contact details of NGOs and community based groups to
help the journalists in their research. Selected Fellows will develop their
initial story ideas with members of the international advisory panel, who
will continue to advise journalists on the development of their storylines
for the duration of the fellowships.
Selected print journalists will
be awarded a grant of 400 US dollars each, plus travel and data collection
expenses, and will be expected to produce three 1000-word articles on issues
around TB and TB & HIV/AIDS. Selected photojournalists will produce photo
essays.
