The International Reporting Project (IRP) out of Johns Hopkins University is offering a new media fellowship for 2013. They are looking for journalists and media figures who are using new media and social media to report on health, development and innovation. I think that what I have been doing on A View From the Cave both here and on Twitter fits quite well into with IRP wants for the fellowship.
So, I am humbly asking all of you for some help. I want to launch a mini-campaign to help convince IRP that I should be one of their fellows next year. All I ask is for a few kind words directed at the IRP Twitter feed @IRPChirps (#fellowshipforthecave), or a comment on their Facebook Page, or a comment right here on this blog post.
I have been working on this space for free for a few years now and would love to dedicate even more time to covering aid and development. The grant will allow for that effort since it will provide a modest financial injection. If I get the fellowship, my goal will be to provide you with more reporting, information and analysis while focusing in on some large stories. Specifically I would pursue stories regarding the development of the Post-2015 agenda and investigate the development and innovations within the water sector.
Thanks, as always, for reading and I appreciate your support.

Thanks Tommy. It means a lot.
Hi Tom,
I really appreciate your work with your various development info-hubs (twitter, this blog, the various competitions) and definitely support your application.
Good luck.

Hi, this blog has been a good source of information for practitioners like me to keep up to date on development related stuff. Keep up the good work and good luck with the fellowship.
Thanks!
Thanks Terence, it means a lot coming from you. I have to admit that I am glad to see that you are back to writing more. Enjoyed your response to Carr.
