Journalism Program

The German Marshall Fund’s journalism program was established in 1999 to promote interest in and understanding of European issues in the U.S. media and among the American public at large.  The program initially aimed at widening the corps of American journalists reporting on Europe, as well as keeping those with European experience up-to-date on events, ideas, and policy questions relevant to the Euro–Atlantic community.  Today, the program works to promote coverage of transatlantic issues by both American and European journalists and to encourage an open and spirited exchange between media professionals on both sides of the Atlantic.

In addition to inviting journalists to participate in policy discussions and other GMF fellowship and exchange opportunities such as the Marshall Memorial Fellowship and the Manfred Wörner Seminar, the German Marshall Fund operates the following activities for journalists in the United States and Europe:

Journalism Study Tours

Transatlantic Journalists’ Forum
The German Marshall Fund, in cooperation with the European Commission, convened the fourth annual Transatlantic Journalists Forum in Texas. The border state was chosen as a perfect location to discuss the theme “Borders, Neighborhoods, and Political Landscapes in Europe and North America.”
