Application Form: MMFD Investigating Disinformation Fellowship

Organised Mis/Disinformation, especially of political nature, has emerged as a massive challenge for newsrooms across Pakistan. A vast majority of journalists feel that they regularly encounter Mis/Disinformation in their work. Considering that most journalists regularly source news from digital platforms, including Twitter, digital fact-checking is must-have skill for media practitioners in today's age. However, most journalists feel that they've never received any formal training for digital fact-checking. As a result of this gap, we often see Mis/Disinformation making its way to the mainstream news content.

MMfD has been leading the work on Media and Information Literacy (MIL) in Pakistan since 2018, and in the past few years, we've conducted numerous training programs, including residential bootcamps, with journalists from all mediums to give them basic to advanced level skills to counter and investigate Mis/Disinformation.

Tackling the information disorder and focusing on countering disinformation is one of MMFD's key focus areas. In extension to our existing programs and trainings on disinformation, and building upon MMFD's existing mobilisation on disinformation, we are now launching the Countering Disinformation Fellowship Program, aimed at bringing together a cohort (of prominent journalists) and assisting them in producing investigative, fact-checking content.


A total of 10 journalists would be selected for a 6 month fellowship program, from across the country and from different mediums to become fellows under this program.

Last date to apply: Monday 7th November 2022.
