Chautari Media Fellows are expected to finish their MA thesis research
by November 2006. When their research is complete, they will make presentations
as part of the Media Discussion Series at Martin Chautari.
This year we received 31 applications in total. First screening of the
application was made by the media research group of Martin Chautari
based on the completeness of the application and the coherence of the
proposed research and its methodology. Fifteen applicants passed through
this first screening. Their application was then independently evaluated
by a selection committee comprising of Binod Bhattarai from the Centre
for Investigative Journalism (CIJ), Manju Thapa from Asmita Women's
Publication and Jagannath Adhikari from Martin Chautari. Based on the
judgment of this committee, five candidates were selected as fellows
for 2006. We apologise for the delay in announcing the result, which
is solely due to the recent political situation in the country.
