About the Program
The Washington Post, in conjunction with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, inaugurated a fellowship program this spring to bring professional journalists from Latin America to Washington, D.C., to produce stories on subjects of their choice. Five fellows were selected from a candidate pool of more than 60 journalists.

During their two weeks in Washington, journalists from Mexico, Colombia and Brazil conducted reporting on an issue of importance to their home countries and to the United States. They also attended seminars at The Post and the Wilson Center.

The program seeks to provide opportunities for professional development and to encourage dialogue between journalists from Latin America and the United States.
