Launched in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS), a German think-tank that helped to establish ANN, the fellowship program is part of ANN’s “efforts to bring Asia closer through editorial initiatives and events”, the alliance said.

The program invites young journalists not older than 35 years and residing in Indonesia or Malaysia to submit their applications no later than March 31, 2026.

According to ANN, successful candidates will be responsible for coordinating ways to establish the Malay news network and will work with ANN senior editors in a virtual newsroom on content focused on people and happenings in Asia.

ANN said the fellowship program is expected “to promote independent, responsible and ethical journalism in the region”.

ANN was established in 1999 by nine media organizations in the region. Its members now include 20 leading media titles from 10 Southeast Asian countries as well as several other locations in East and South Asia. ANN's coverage extends from geopolitics, defense and security to the economy and trade, as well as lifestyle and entertainment reporting. (ipa)
