Deadline: 10 June, 2023
The Nigeria Media Innovation Programme (NAMIP), an initiative of Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF), has opened applications for Media Product Fellowship.
This four-month-long programme is designed to build the product thinking, execution and business development capacity of upcoming media practitioners as well as assist newsrooms on the road to sustainability by embedding these fellows in their newsrooms.
The intervention is necessitated by the dearth of specific product and targeted business skills to serve independent media organisations.
Benefits
- Fellows selected into the programme will spend three weeks doing intense, practical learning on the designated courses intended to build and strengthen capacity in the area of media product and business development
- Fellows will be deployed to newsrooms where they will be required to practically deploy skills from the training sessions and contribute to the organisation’s growth for three months
Eligibility
- Have three months, minimum, of experience working or interfacing in the media space or a related field
- Be able to participate full-time in a three-week-long training programme
- Be able to possibly intern in media organisations for at least three months
- Applicants are required to submit a 500-word essay outlining an understanding of the media landscape, challenges, and prospects and how a news product and business mindset can strengthen independent media organisations in Nigeria
