As part of the Advancing News Diversity in Asia (ANDA) project, AAJA-Asia invited staff journalists, freelancers and students in journalism from seven Asia markets – Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan – to apply for a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) reporting fellowship.
Successful applicants submitted inspiring stories that explore the experiences of marginalized communities and individuals and their struggle for representation in their respective countries.
