28 editors, journalists across Asia begin 6-month Young Media Leaders Fellowship
A new batch of 28 editors and journalists from 19 publications in 11 countries across Asia are now participating in a leadership program that aims to nurture the next generation of media leaders who are committed to shaping the regional future. The program is the The Young Media Leaders Fellowship (YMLF), launched July 5, as an initiative of the World Editors Forum Asia Chapter and WAN-IFRA supported by Temasek Foundation. The aim is for YMLF fellows to contribute effectively to the pursuit of good journalism, foster dialogue and greater connectedness among one another, and build up newsrooms to meet the needs of their societies in these uncertain times. They will gather online over the next six months to share experiences, exchange ideas, amplify the impact of news reporting, and learn to lead in an industry transformed by technology. This is especially relevant as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to threaten the news publishing industry. These are challenging times for the media all around the world, and our young newsroom leaders have many big issues to grapple with ahead of them.
