The African Investigative Journalism Conference is running two Fellowship tracks in 2025 - one for practicing early-career journalists under the age of 30 with five or less years' experience, and one for mid-career journalists with five or more years' experience. #AIJC2025 will be held at Wits University in Johannesburg from 5 to 7 November 2025.
Opportunity Details
The annual African Investigative Journalism Conference (AIJC), an initiative of the Wits Centre for Journalism (WCJ), is the largest gathering of African investigative journalists on the continent. Now in its 21st year (2025), the conference is usually held over three days late in the year (October/November), where journalists from Africa and elsewhere gather at Wits University to network, share ideas and stories, celebrate excellent, groundbreaking work, and learn from one another through a series of lectures, workshops, masterclasses and seminars.
Cost
The fellowship will cover major travel costs, including return flights from your home country to the conference, shuttles, accommodation, conference fees, as well as meals during the conference.
Application deadline is May 23, 2025 at 5pm (SAST). Late submission will not be considered.
