Building on prior training programs for Sierra Leonean journalists, this new fellowship will endeavor to further and deepen investigations into human trafficking in previously uncovered communities. Twelve Sierra Leonean journalists will be selected to take part in a hybrid training programme.
Through a series of online and in-country activities, including field work, journalists will learn about why and how trafficking happens in Sierra Leone.
Participants will receive story coaching, mentoring, and editorial assistance to support their efforts to produce high quality and in-depth stories. Journalists will have the opportunity to apply for grant funding to support financial costs related to reporting for investigative or high quality in-depth stories on human trafficking.
