The Chevening South Asia Journalism Fellowship (SAJP) is a prestigious program designed for mid-career journalists from South Asian countries. Hosted by the University of Westminster and funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office, this 8-week fellowship provides a unique opportunity to enhance understanding of the media's role in governance.
The fellowship, titled "Good Governance in a Changing World: The Media, Politics, and Society," focuses on the media's role in holding democratic processes accountable. Fellows will explore approaches in both the UK and South Asia through lectures, discussions, and visits with leading UK academics, political figures, and media professionals.
