About the Series


Frontline World FellowsFRONTLINE/World Fellows
The FRONTLINE/World Fellowship program, began in 2003 and completed in 2008, was designed to widen the spectrum of stories available to the public and highlight the outstanding work of a new generation of journalists. The program was launched as a collaboration between FRONTLINE/World and the U.C. Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and extended to participation by the journalism schools of Columbia University and Northwestern University.

All FRONTLINE/World Fellow stories received the same hands-on mentoring and stringent editorial scrutiny as any other story published on the FRONTLINE/World website or broadcast on the FRONTLINE/World television series. Many of the final projects were uniquely suited to the interactive nature of the web.

In all, 29 stories, reported from 21 countries across 5 continents, were produced as part of the multi-year program.

Funding for the Fellows program was made possible by support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

You can find a full list of the completed Fellows projects here on our website.
