New Fellowship for Nigerian Journalists: Bridging the Climate Reporting Gap
New Fellowship for Nigerian Journalists: Bridging the Climate Reporting Gap
Are you a Nigerian journalist passionate about making complex climate issues accessible and relevant to your community? One World Media, in partnership with Surge Africa, is thrilled to launch a new opportunity as part of the Climate Reporting Gap Initiative.
Across Nigeria, the impacts of climate change are increasingly visible — from rising heat and water scarcity to the complexities of the energy transition. Yet, local stories that connect these challenges to people’s daily lives often remain underreported. That’s where the Climate Reporting Gap Fellowship comes in.
This new initiative will support six Nigerian journalists to report original stories on climate and energy through inclusive, data-driven and community-centred reporting. Whether you’re drawn to print, audio, or video, this Fellowship is designed to enable you to produce compelling, solutions-focused journalism that resonates at the local and regional level.
Each selected fellow will benefit from:
- Up to £5,000 in reporting grants
- 1-to-1 mentoring
- Online and in-person workshops
- Freedom to work in your preferred medium — whether that’s video, print, or audio
With the backing of Surge Africa, an organisation working at the intersection of policy, media, and resilience building, this Fellowship aims to build a stronger ecosystem of climate communication in Nigeria — one grounded in local expertise, evidence, and community impact.
If you’re ready to dig deeper into Nigeria’s climate and energy transition story, we want to hear from you.
Apply now to be part of the first Climate Reporting Gap Fellowship cohort in Nigeria.
