The Strickland Foundation is sponsoring an internship scheme for aspiring journalists which will run in partnership with Maltese media companies.
Media companies involved in the production of national newspapers, magazines, specialised publications, news programmes for television or radio, and news electronic sites are eligible to take part.
Strickland Foundation CEO Victor Aquilina said the scheme is aimed at promoting the
advancement of journalism and expanding further public interest, through journalism, on voluntary organisations and human rights.
The foundation will spend €300,000 to finance internships over three years.
In the first phase, it will sponsor six interns for a year, providing €15,000 for each
candidate.
Applications are to be addressed to Mr Aquilina and sent to admin@thestricklandfoundation.com or The Strickland Foundation, Villa Parisio, Mabel Strickland Street, Lija by December 7.
