International Reporting Project Fellows for 2007 Selected at SAIS

Three journalists have been awarded International Reporting Project Fellowships at SAIS this year. Aimed at encouraging coverage of international issues by the U.S. news media, the 10-year-old program has seen 148 fellows report from more than 80 different countries, focusing on important stories that have been neglected or under-reported.

The IRP Fellows for fall 2007, their affiliations and the countries on which they will focus are Eliza Barclay, freelance journalist based in Mexico City — Tanzania; Libby Casey, reporter, KUAC-FM public radio, Fairbanks, Alaska — Iceland; and Krista Kapralos, reporter, The Herald, Everett, Wash. — Venezuela.

"We're looking forward to some great work," John Schidlovsky, IRP director, said. "The public needs to know about the issues these journalists plan to cover, which include global health, energy and the environment and indigenous peoples."

The International Reporting Project is supported by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Carnegie Corp. of New York, Stanley Foundation, Philip L. Graham Fund, New York Times Co. Foundation and others.
