The HIV/AIDS and the Media Project offers two annual 4-6 month fellowships to working journalists to undertake longer term and in-depth research and writing on HIV/AIDS outside of the newsroom. The writing that results from these fellowships will be published in a wide range of media and peer-reviewed journals.

The fellowships are shaped around identifying, researching and filling gaps in reporting on HIV/AIDS. Previous and current fellowships have focused on media coverage and audience reception of HIV/AIDS news texts, the role of stigma and gender in prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) and its media coverage, the strengths and vulnerabilities of HIV-positive children and the role of traditional health practitioners in the mainstream treatment of their patients.
