Transatlantic Media Fellowship

A collection of articles by 2018 Transatlantic Media Fellows reporting from Spain and North Africa on migrants trying to reach Europe, including background information on migration to Europe.

Our work on Democracy and Social Policy explores the challenges to US and European democracies: how do developments such as the rise of right-wing populist parties across Europe, loss of trust in political institutions, the growing appeal of anti-immigrant rhetoric, a global refugee crisis, shrinking civil society spaces and increasingly hostile media environments impact our societies and test the strength of our democracies?

Each year, we sponsor journalists from the US and Europe for an independent, transatlantic trip to research stories relevant to the foundation’s work.
