A journalist from Haiti and one from Mexico are among the 2011 Dart Center Ochberg Fellows, according to Poynter.org.

Kathie Klarreich, an independent Journalist from Port-au-Prince and a Knight International Journalism Fellow; Marcela Turati, from the magazine Revista Proceso in Mexico City, and eight other journalists from the United States, Bangladesh and Ukraine will receive a week of in-depth training in order to improve their coverage of violence, conflict and tragedy.

Established in 1999 by the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma in partnership with the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, the Ochberg Fellowships are for mid-career journalists from the Americas, Europe and Australasia. Applications for 2012 fellows will be accepted in the spring.
