The Institute for Justice and Journalism will conduct its third Immigration in the Heartland fellowship program in 2012. The Heartland program is a joint project with the University of Oklahoma’s Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication and is funded by the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation. Featuring a week-long conference at OU's Norman campus, the program is designed for professional journalists seeking to report on the complexities of immigration with clarity, depth and context. Traditional and nontraditional journalists reporting or writing commentary for print, television, radio or online distribution are eligible to apply. Each selected journalist will be responsible for producing an in-depth project story or a series of shorter stories or commentary that will draw from the fellowship experience.
