"We invite two journalists from countries with restricted freedom of press and information to Berlin for a period limited to six months. During their stay, media professionals take time off from their daily obligations to recover from their difficult working conditions and to expand their personal and professional horizons. At the end of the six months, the fellows return to their home countries with renewed energy and fresh perspectives to continue their journalistic work.

The stay in Berlin is limited to six months. The projected time period of the fellowships will be from May 1st to Oct. 31st, 2025."
