The Knight Center for Specialized Journalism invites applications from opinion writers for a seminar:

"Challenges in Foreign Policy - and a Changing Media World"
December 1-4, 2009

Every day, the world is getting more complex and interconnected. The election of a U.S. president with global popularity and the draw-down of U.S. troops from Iraq have done nothing to change that. Twitter helps angry Iranians protest an election. Drug violence, the H1N1 virus and carbon emissions cross borders, challenging governments. President Obama has brought a new tone to U.S. foreign policy, but still faces a raft of challenges: nuclear programs in Iran and North Korea, a struggling war in Afghanistan and new issues with rising powers like China and India.

Senior government officials and leading foreign policy thinkers will update Knight Center fellows on the latest global trends, and how they could impact you, your communities and your readers. Applications are invited from opinion writers for print, broadcast and online media. This includes editorial writers, columnists, editorial page editors and bloggers.
