Applications for 2007 Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships now openFrom now until September 1, 2006, the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships (AFPF) is accepting applications from print journalists for its 2007 program. Approximately 10 successful candidates will report for American news organisations from March - August, 2007 to learn practices, standards and values of US journalism which they can adapt, share and apply in their own countries.
