Following the success of the pilot in the Philippines, the Earth Journalism Network (EJN) is launching Earth Shorts 2025, a regional fellowship for social media storytellers and journalists in South and Southeast Asia. The program aims to bridge the gap between environmental reporting and digital storytelling, encouraging the production of compelling, evidence-based stories about issues related to biodiversity.

Applications are welcome for 20 fellowships—10 for online content creators and 10 for media professionals—from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Indonesia, Vietnam, and other regional countries. A US$2,000 grant will be awarded to the fellow to produce at least five short videos on biodiversity for social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook.

The initiative arrives in a fast-changing media world, where news is being consumed on social media by wider audiences, and disinformation on green issues, particularly climate change and biodiversity, continues to spread. Earth Shorts 2025 seeks to mobilize journalists and influencers to produce impactful, fact-checked, and innovative online content to get people on the most urgent environmental issues.

The fellowship will begin in September 2025 and will involve a three-day online workshop training to cover such issues as biodiversity science, storytelling methodology, AI tools, misinformation combat tactics, and audience engagement methodology. Continuing mentorship and peer-learning sessions concluding in a closing event in March 2026 will be offered to chosen fellows.

For eligibility, the creators must have a following of 20,000–200,000 individuals and be producing content on civic or lifestyle problems on a regular basis, and journalists must be reporting on stories on biodiversity and having social media presence in public space on a regular basis. All content must be produced in local languages with English subtitles as an added value.

Shortlisted candidates will be asked to present pitches and supporting materials in English before the selection of programs in August 2025. The chosen works will be published on EJN websites, where producers will be invited to acknowledge EJN support by utilizing the hashtag #EarthShorts.

JN is organizing a virtual media training in late August for business and financial reporters in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Thailand aiming to enhance their climate-centered reporting on environmental responsibility, financial and industry solutions and driving public demand for change in Asia's business sector.

Attendees of the workshop also have the opportunity to apply for a story grant to create journalistic content.

Journalists have thus a crucial role in making companies accountable for their attempts (or failure) to implement more sustainable business strategies and disclose more openly their emissions, in order to speed up action on climate and, in collaboration with government and society, advance sustainable solutions where those most at risk from climate change are not left behind. Journalists covering business and finance can similarly do better to alert the public to the policy cues and regulations needed to incentivize and de-risk private sector investment in climate action. As part of EJN's new initiative, the Business and Climate Media Initiative (BCMI), we are excited to announce a three-day online media workshop for journalists in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Thailand for business and finance reporters to explore in greater depth how the business world in Asia contributes to climate change and is at the forefront of adapting to—and mitigating this climate crisis.

Themes

This online workshop will explore the business sector's role in the climate crisis—both the ways it is driving climate change and the ways it can lead climate action, amplify sustainable solutions and build a stronger greener economy.

Journalists will learn from researchers, policymakers and officials from local communities and the business sector how businesses, innovation, technology and climate finance can contribute to cutting greenhouse emissions and driving decarbonization in an inclusive manner in four target countries in Asia.

Journalists will also be coached on how to do reporting with an accountability and solutions focus, various storytelling approaches and techniques to enhance audience engagement.

Journalists will also get a chance to work on their story pitches, share sources and resources for their reporting and network amongst themselves.

The final workshop agenda will be communicated to shortlisted participants by early-August 2025.

Eligibility

The applicants must be from any of the four focus countries: Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Thailand.

For the sake of this training event, we are only accepting English, Thai and Indonesian-language applications. We are not currently in a position to accept applications in other languages. Candidates will be required to have a working knowledge of English, Thai and Indonesian in order to be able to attend and gain full benefit from the workshop. Simultaneous language interpretation will be offered.

Applications are invited from journalists in any medium (online, print, television, radio) and other media practitioners with reporting experience on business, finance and/or the economy. Climate and energy reporting experience is welcome but not essential.

We invite applications from both staff writers and freelancers writing for all forms of media organizations—community-based, local national and international. We particularly encourage women, rural, Indigenous and early and mid-career journalists to apply.

Proposers must be open with the utilization of generative AI tools, if any, in revising their proposals. EJN has the right to bar applicants from consideration if they have been caught engaging in unethical or improper professional practice, including, but not limited to, passing off AI-generated content as their own. 

Logistics

We intend to take on around 40-50 participants for the workshop with regard to fair representation of participants from each target country. Those selected will be informed by late-July.

The workshop will occur virtually on Zoom on three consecutive days in late-August 2025, with 3 hours of training sessions per day. We will try to select a time that is convenient for as many time zones in Asia as possible. It should be noted that it is likely this workshop will occur in the late afternoon or early evening for participants, so you should bear this in mind when applying.

To make these workshops accessible, EJN will provide limited communications stipends to individuals with an unreliable internet connection in the remote location. Please specify on your application if you will need a communications stipend to maintain Wi-Fi access throughout the training.  

Individuals participating in all sessions will be issued a certificate of completion by EJN.

Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted.

A batch of mass media students recently concluded one week of internship at The Tribune and experienced the hectic stressful life of print journalism. Organized in Chandigarh and Ludhiana bureaus, the internship was a blend of newsroom exposure, editorial guidance, and veteran guidance in general.

The method was learned through interactive copy-editing and article-writing sessions during the one-week course. Students were forced to work under professional journalists, who imparted their craft in news writing and copy-editing for the newspaper. Students learned the art of news writing—objectivity, accuracy, and capacity to narrate a story—through such sessions.

Other than the editing course, the internship also involved a special design and layout course for students whereby they studied newspaper page layout. From choosing fonts to putting photographs in their location, they studied how graphics maximize the reader experience and how designing assists in how information can be presented in the best possible manner.

Collaboration with The Tribune's design and editorial crew gave students an understanding of the coordinating effort involved in producing a daily newspaper. The buzz of activity available behind the scenes at The Tribune offices, combined with input from experienced professionals, made for an educational experience.

It was the students' initial experience being part of an active newsroom. "It was more than an internship—it was an introduction to the real world of journalism," said one student intern. "We learned about the necessity, discipline, and ethics that go into every story that is published."

The internship attested the success of experiential learning in journalism and encouraged the students to engage in the media industry in the future.

The IEEE Computer Society Student Branch Chapter (CS SBC) of IIT Kharagpur, in association with IEEE Kharagpur Section, officially initiated Summer Internship Programme 2025, providing a unique platform for future tech professionals to immerse in research and industry in advanced fields. The program is entirely remote, making it easy for students from all over India to join remotely.

Two-three months internship for postgraduate and undergraduate students (BTech, MTech, BSc, MSc, BCA, MCA, or equivalents) provides an opportunity to work on real-time projects with the guidance of IIT Kharagpur and IEEE experts. The last date of application is June 21, 2025.

Interns can work in one or more of the following domains:

  • AI/ML-Based Network Management
  • Cloud-Edge Computing & Vehicular Networking
  • Machine Learning & Deep Learning
  • Generative AI & Explainable AI

The students should have a basic programming, computer networks, operating system, DBMS, engineering math, and machine learning and Python background. But there is no need for prior experience.

Applicants are required to apply through a Google Form with the following documents:

  • Fresh CV (PDF, 10 MB maximum)
  • Passport photograph (PDF/Image, 1 MB maximum)
  • Signature scan (PDF/Image, max 1 MB)
  • Valid student ID card (PDF/Image, max 1 MB)

Candidates have to apply through the official form. Selected candidates will be contacted by June end, and the internship is expected to begin in early July 2025.

While not monetary, the internship is of inestimable value in the way of e-certificates, project guidance, and exposure to IIT Kharagpur professors and IEEE professionals. Members will learn from hands-on experience, portfolio projects, and recommendations which will be of value to their educational and professional lives.

The program seeks to equip the future technology leaders with hands-on experience and insight into exciting areas of science and engineering.
