Peter M Acland Foundation
2019 Journalism Fellowship
The trustees of the Peter M Acland Foundation are delighted to announce they have awarded the 2019 Peter M Acland Foundation Journalism Fellowship to Jessica McAllen, a self employed Wellington Journalist.
The fellowship, which is in its second year, enables a New Zealand journalist to work overseas at a media organisation of international repute at no cost to employer or host by covering the recipient’s salary, travel and accommodation. On return, the Fellow is expected to share the knowledge and skills acquired with the Fellow’s colleagues and the wider industry.
Ms McAllen leaves in two weeks to spend 12 months at The Baffler magazine in New York. The Baffler is a print and digital magazine which focuses on cultural, political, and business analysis and reporting.
Ms McAllen says the Fellowship is an “extraordinary learning opportunity”.
“The Baffler tends to take a wider, nuanced view of social issues in a time when we are often rushing to quickly form opinions.”
Ms McAllen will spend her time researching and writing for the Baffler print and digital magazine.
The Fellowship recognises the career of the late Peter Acland as a journalist and his passion for the profession.
