RECRUITING ANNOUNCEMENT

Call for Romani Media Interns at TOL

Transitions Online invites qualified candidates to apply for its 2003-04
Roma Journalist Internship Program. Three early-career or aspiring
journalists will be chosen to live in Prague and work at TOL's offices
for three months each, performing and assisting with  a wide range of
editorial duties. Interns will also have the opportunity to report and
write for TOL's news website and its sister site for cultural coverage,
Central Europe Review. Candidates should have some journalism work
experience and/or training in their background and a good grasp of
spoken and written English. A stipend and housing assistance is included
in the internship.

Interested applicants should send their CV and a cover letter explaining
why they would like to be considered to: 
  
Romani Internship Program, Transitions Online, 
Chlumova 22, Prague 3 - 130 00, Czech Republic. 
  
Alternatively, you can email the materials to us at training@TOL.cz
  
(To be considered for the first internship, which runs October through
January, there is a deadline  of 5 September. Deadlines for the next two
terms of the internship will be announced over the next  few months,
although prospective candidates are invited to send in applications at
any time.)

TOL, a Prague-based media development NGO, is dedicated to strengthening
the professionalism, independence, and impact of the media in
post-communist Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the former
Soviet Union. Through its Correspondent Network for Independent
Journalism, TOL recruits and nurtures up-and-coming talent by offering
local journalists intensive training, instructive editing, and
publishing opportunities. Funding for the Romani media training project
has been generously provided by the OSI Network Media Program.

Note: Please share this announcement with anyone or any group you think
appropriate.
