About Program

As part of these placements, you'll cover diverse local initiatives while working as part of an international team, gain experience as a research assistant working on politics and current affairs supporting Talk Radio's (UK) Latin America correspondent, and interact with local television stations and develop content for online and print outlets.
Opportunities for pieces will cover a broad scope, from political events, travel writing, environmental news and arts journalism to promotional copy, funding documents, content for online communities and research reports.
