InteRussia Opens Fellowship for Journalists

Today RT Arabic hosted the official opening of the InteRussia fellowship program for journalists from Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Morocco and Sudan.

The fellows were welcomed by:

Manna Maya, Head of RT Arabic;
Karina Melikyan, Head of the Department of International Cooperation and Distribution at RT;
Lyana Dymova, Academic Programs Coordinator at the Gorchakov Fund.

During the opening ceremony, Manna Maya spoke about the specifics of RT Arabic’s work under the restrictions and the challenges that Russian media face nowadays.

She emphasised that this fellowship is truly unique and highly important for Russia, since strong ties between journalists from different countries and continuous professional dialogue are essential for the further development of the media sphere.

The fellowship has officially begun — this is only the first chapter.

The InteRussia Fellowship for television journalists from the Middle East and North Africa is implemented by Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund and RT Arabic with grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
