Fellowship in Global Journalism is the first program in the world that specifically trains professionals and academics to be reporters
August 15/2014
Before entering the Munk School of Global Affairs Fellowship in Global Journalism program in 2013, Anna Nicolaou, who has a degree in economics, had worked for several years in what she calls “classic business-school jobs:” finance and consulting. Today, she’s a full-time journalist at the Financial Times in New York, and recently reported on the European elections and the Russia-Ukraine crisis for Reuters in Brussels.
But the first news article Nicolaou ever wrote was for The Globe and Mail in Toronto. “I was so lucky to have editors and co-workers there that were enormously supportive and patient,” she says. “I got to write sophisticated stuff about esoteric topics that I’m interested in. I don’t know that I would have liked journalism this much if I hadn’t started there.”
