A reporter for Forbes Africa has been named the recipient of a fellowship that will give him training and experience in the United States this summer.
Forbes Media partnered with U.S. journalism foundation Alfred Friendly Press Partners to offer an editorial fellowship in the U.S. to a reporter from one of Forbes’ local licensed editions around the world.
The recipient of the Missouri School of Journalism’s Alfred Friendly Press Partners Fellowship, as selected by an executive team at Forbes and AFPP’s leadership, is Thobile Hans, a South African-based journalist from Forbes Africa. Hans is one of eight fellows chosen for the Alfred Friendly Press Partners 2016 fellowship program.
Beginning in March, Hans will spend several weeks training at the Alfred Friendly Press Partners at the Missouri School of Journalism –– followed by five months of training in Forbes’ newsroom in the company’s office in Jersey City, New Jersey.
“This fellowship opportunity is a testament to Forbes’ commitment to upholding the highest standards of professional journalism and to our interest in seeing our journalistic standards spread throughout the world among our global local licensees,” said Randall Lane, editor of Forbes magazine, in a statement.
