Berlin Capital Program for Early Career Journalists

What’s in the news in Germany? If you are an early-career US journalist or journalism student, the Berlin Capital Program offers a unique and enriching opportunity for professional development in a hybrid format. Beginning in March 2024 with monthly online meetings, the program culminates with an intensive week in Germany in September. The initial, virtually held sessions will introduce you to major program themes and feature guest speakers, in preparation for the group seminar in Germany that offers you a closer look at the German media landscape and a deeper awareness of German and European society. On the ground experience in Germany includes meetings, visits, discussions and workshops with German and US expat members of the media, experts in various fields, government officials, and engaged citizens.

The program, conducted in English, is operated by and fully funded through Fulbright Germany. Read more…
