previous work with by-lines, researchers and scholars may provide links to published papers in recognised journals.
3) Applicants must provide a ‘letter of support’ from their current editor/employer, as the case may be, assuring the Fellow’s time to the CANSA-NIMJN Fellowship through its entire duration and, in the case of media, willingness to publish the
articles written by the Fellows in their publication/channels.
