International Journalists’ Programmes (IJP)

Description

Every year IJP awards around 120 bursaries to German journalists and their foreign counterparts. The international network of journalists built up by IJP is unique. More than 1600 journalists from over 40 countries have already taken part in IJP's programmes. Many of them work as leading journalists all over the world. In addition to the many personal contacts made, former delegates regularly stay in touch through alumni meetings and a regular newsletter.
