Thanks to the financial support of our members and sponsors we are able to offer a limited number of We Media fellowships.
We Media Fellows play a key role at the conference and in online discussions and reports before and after it. We ask fellows to devote a small portion of their time during the conference to assist with reporting and summarizing the events there, or to other types of support to help us run a smoothe conference. We also ask fellows to commit to occasional contributions to WeMedia.com, including several briefs, essays or video posts before and after the conference. We hope some fellows seek longer-term involvement as correspondents for WeMedia.com.
Fellowships include the registration fee for full participation in the We Media Miami 2009 conference and, when possible and on an as-needed basis, a travel stipend to cover airfare and hotel expenses.
To apply for a future or ongoing fellowship, please complete the following application form. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
