2016 Applications Open: 

Pitch Us A Good ASEAN Story

Big things are happening in the ASEAN neighbourhood! This is why the Reporting ASEAN program is inviting mid-career journalists from ASEAN’s 10 member countries to submit fresh, in-depth ideas for stories investigating issues around ASEAN regionalism.

Pitch us a story idea we can’t resist, and we’ll support it. Deadline for applications: 31 October 2016.

Calls for applications are here.

Tips for developing a story for Reporting ASEAN are here.

ASEAN turns 50 in 2017, marking this key anniversary as a strategic venue for international relations and diplomacy in Southeast Asia and beyond.

It is a time to look back at how far it has come from the Cold War days of the sixties, to take stock of its status as a fulcrum of stability and security in this part of the world today – and to look ahead into ASEAN’s prospects as an integrated community that tries to balance regionalism with national sovereignty.

Looking inward, ASEAN will soon be completing its first year as a Community, one whose integration its leaders have defined as a priority for the next 10 years.

Both of these processes – ASEAN’s evolution and deepening integration – are challenges and opportunities rich with stories that the Reporting ASEAN program invites journalists to investigate.

Through storytelling and creative reportage by its journalists it accepts as fellows and its series writers, Reporting ASEAN seeks to explain to ASEAN citizens the impact and implications, as well as the challenges and dividends, of regional integration. After all, the overall aim of the integration process under the ASEAN Community is to improve the lives of the region’s 620 million people. This is why ASEAN matters, and why media need to continue to tell the ASEAN story.

The program is open to nationals of the 10 ASEAN member countries.

To apply, a journalist must:

• be a professional print/ broadcast (TV or radio)/online journalist, multimedia journalist or photojournalist from an ASEAN country
• have worked in media for at least three years
• submit application and story proposal forms by email or by using the online form at http://bit/ly/reportingaseanmediafellowship

The selected Reporting ASEAN journalists will get coverage subgrants to carry out reportage of their approved story topics over a period of two months, and receive scholarships to attend the Reporting ASEAN media forum 2016., to be held on Dec.2-4, 2016 in Bangkok, Thailand.

WHICH TOPICS?

Reporting ASEAN is looking for story proposals that focus on, but are not limited to:

• analysis of the progress of the ASEAN Community and ASEAN integration;
• relevance/impact and public awareness of ASEAN and a specific aspect of its work;
• cross-border connectivity;
• media coverage of ASEAN issues
• stimulation of sustainable growth and development, including the challenges of integration on health
• gender equality and empowerment of women and girls;
• climate change and environmental sustainability;
• regional stability and security;
• peaceful pluralism, respect for diversity and human rights.

CORE ELEMENTS

Story proposals will be screened using these core elements: originality, creativity, relevance to the overall development of ASEAN societies; the presence of a strong regional angle that goes beyond local/national reporting; a deep understanding of ASEAN and the ASEAN Community; the ability to translate policy into everyday issues with a human face; effective story framing and news angling; inclusion of a variety of sources beyond state voices.
