media fellowship for local language journalists

***********************************
Chennai, 2 May: REACH, a
Chennai-based non-profit centre dedicated to the
fight against TB has announced the REACH Lilly MDR-TB
Partnership Media Fellowships. This programme will
provide journalists from local language newspapers
across India with support to undertake in-depth
analysis of various aspects of TB. The Fellowships
are intended to encourage journalists to explore TB
as a critical public health concern in India, by
identifying and developing stories that remain
untold.
India bears one-fifth of the world’s global TB
burden; in addition, there is growing disposition to
multi-drug resistance, increasing public health
costs. All of this is compounded by a general lack
of awareness of TB and its consequences – most of
all, that TB is completely curable. Informed and
accurate journalism can have a significant impact on
public understanding and perception of tuberculosis.
Interested journalists can contact REACH at
0091-9791017202 or email
reach4tb@gmail.com. Completed applications must
be submitted by 31 May.
