You can take advantage of the IGF 2024 Support for Global South Journalists! Journalists from under-represented groups will have the opportunity and means to cover international conferences on internet governance and digital issues thanks to this programme.

Travel, housing, and access to the 19th Annual IGF are all part of this programme, which is being organised by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) and the Secretariat of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) with the goal of supporting journalists in their work. An event with a focus on significant digital issues will be held in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from December 15–19, 2024. Journalists who are chosen may also be able to cover the IGF’s priority areas and take part in workshops.

If you fit the requirements, this program can advance your professional development and add to the international dialogue on Internet governance. Do not miss the opportunity to apply and join this initiative to improve media representation from the Global South; it closes on October 18, 2024.
