ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Structure of the program
The fellows would be undertaking 8-week fellowship, which is also named as Good Governance in a Changing World: The Media, Politics and Society. The program explores certain paths in which the media plays a significant role in holding democratic procedures with the civil service, government, and security along with the wider political system in both the UK and South Asian region.
Fellows would also explore different approaches taken by South Asia region and the UK, and then use that knowledge to direct discussions about tackling the issues, which challenge the field. Fellows would be challenged to discuss framework on the basis of evidence for key policy discussions, understand global positions (including appreciation of UK methods), supply practical experience, alongside encouraging dialogue on important matters.
The prospectus concentrates on the ways in which the media are held accountable, and the wider framework within which political organizations function. The reporting ethics are at the heart of all discussions.
Fellows would also participate in eight severe weeks of visits, lectures and debates that introduce them to key UK media, academics and political figures in the field. They would also spend time meeting their peers in some of the UK’s top media organizations, as well as running a convention on a topic of their choice in the concluding week.
This fellowship program would begin in March 2021.
