Gatefield Impact is inviting applications from Nigerian journalists for its inaugural Pro-Health Policy Journalism Fellowship.
The fellowship is an initiative of Gatefield Impact, a recipient of the Healthy Food Advocacy Fund. Gatefield Impact, through the National Action for Sugar Reduction, led advocacy efforts for the introduction of Nigeria’s sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax, through the Finance Act on 31 December 2021. The purpose of the fellowship is to support 10 reporters and investigative journalists to gain the skills necessary to analyze and report on crucial health issues and provide relevant facts to the public, towards the greater goal of improving health outcomes in Nigeria.
The 2022 journalism grant seeks to specifically provide support for reporters to produce high-quality, unbiased human angle, scientific, and investigative stories focused on the impact of sugar-sweetened beverages on health and economy.
- The health harms of SSBs and its link to non communicable diseases (NCDs)
- The economic benefits of taxation towards reducing SSBs consumption
- Other healthy food policies to reduce SSBs consumption and tackle NCDs
The main components of the program are:
- Training workshop on journalistic practices and tools, including developing investigative reporting skills
- Professional mentoring from experts in public health, media and investigative journalism
- Independent work on a project to create a long-form feature piece
- Participation in periodic editorial discussions
