Our Approach
HOW WE DO THIS
Unique Access and Intensive Learning
WPI’s annual fellowship program provides an immersive journey through the multifaceted landscape of American media, culture, politics, and people, traveling widely around the US. Fellows gain unique access to some of the world’s leading figures in journalism and other industries through a series of intensive briefings, interviews, seminars, and hands-on experiences.
Building Professional and Cultural Bridges
By engaging with top-tier media professionals and thought leaders in think tanks, government, business, and academia, fellows are better equipped to navigate and shape media dynamics in their home countries. This interaction not only broadens their professional skills but also deepens their cultural understanding, fostering a global community of informed and interconnected journalists, helping them adapt and thrive in a rapidly evolving media landscape.
Expanding Perspectives and Empowering Change
Our approach is designed to catalyze deep discussions and vibrant exchanges on pivotal social, economic, and political issues. The WPI fellowship encourages a free exchange of ideas, enhancing the capacity of fellows to promote press freedom and advance journalistic excellence in their home countries and beyond.
Conferences, Seminars, and Webinars
In addition to the fellowship program, WPI brings together experts and commentators on emerging and critical issues in journalism, such as AI, ethics, and the fair reporting of elections, through a series of impactful conferences, seminars, and webinars.
