About the Award: Reporting fellows will begin their trip in Mexico City, Mexico, where they will complete comprehensive security training and an orientation from September 21 – 24. Fellows will then depart for nine days of reporting based in Guadalajara, Jalisco where they will have the opportunity to network with other journalists, report independently and collaboratively with their peers, and gain access to a variety of sources and sites related to their reporting.
The IWMF reserves the right to change reporting locations based on the real-time security situation in both locations. The feasibility of day trips outside of Guadalajara will be determined by IWMF security protocols and assessed on a case-by-case basis. Day trips must be within a two hour radius of Guadalajara.
