Pakistan Press Foundation (PPF), in collaboration with Thomson Media, within the Total Turnout: Enhancing minority representation in the run up to the next general elections in Pakistan IFA funded project, invites applications for a fellowship program on inclusive reporting to enhance minority representation in the run-up to the next general elections in Pakistan.
The project aims to support local reporters, including women citizen reporters and bloggers, to produce factual and conflict-sensitive multimedia reports addressing the needs of minorities, especially women, and speaking truth to power in the aftermath of the upcoming parliamentary elections in Pakistan.

- Participation in bi-monthly virtual newsrooms on election reporting.
- Production of four conflict-sensitive election stories.
- Editorial and technical support.
Travel expenses to attend in-person training and a contribution towards connectivity packages to facilitate the production will be covered by the organizers.
Selected participants will work under the supervision of a senior journalist who will act as fellowship editor during the fellowship term. During the fellowship program (August 2023- October 2024), each fellow will be expected to produce four stories for publication or broadcast in media organizations in the pre and post-election cycle.
Journalists with experience of at least three years and an interest in investigative reporting particularly election coverage are encouraged to apply.
