Vaclav Havel Fellowship
RFE/RL is pleased to announce the Vaclav Havel Fellowship, which celebrates U.S.-Czech relations and commemorates the legacy of Vaclav Havel and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. The Vaclav Havel Fellowship will promote young journalists from RFE’s broadcast region, where media freedom continues to be stifled, and where journalism often remains a dangerous profession. In this way, the fellowship commemorates the legacy of those Czechs and Americans who – over decades – have dedicated themselves to promoting freedom of expression around the world. A pilot program will launch in autumn 2011 with one fellowship awarded to a journalist from Belarus.

The fellow will also be encouraged to publish articles in outside publications and to participate in public events and discussions relevant to their areas of interest.
