I was selected to receive a grant from the German-American Fulbright Commission to take part in the 2009 Berlin Capital Program.
From the program’s description:
The program will introduce [participants] to current affairs in German politics and society with a special focus on Berlin. … You will hear about the latest developments in the German media landscape and the challenges media are facing, learn about the training of journalists, their function in politics and the media’s importance in shaping public opinion, the responsibility of media in a multicultural society, and the challenges for media in times of crises.
I will spend a week in to Berlin this November. It should be a great learning experience, and I’m really excited about this opportunity.
