The InteRussia Fellowship for journalists from Latin America has come to an end in Moscow. Over the course of four weeks, participants from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, and the Dominican Republic explored the Russian media landscape, current international affairs, and engaged with leading experts in politics, economics, and energy.
The fellowship was hosted by the International Information Agency and Radio Rossiya Segodnya. Within the framework of the SputnikPro project, fellows completed an intensive course focused on modern approaches to media production, storytelling, video creation, and the use of artificial intelligence in journalism. They explored ways to engage younger audiences and produced their own podcasts, reports, and photo stories. In addition to training sessions, participants visited the newsrooms of Sputnik, Russia Today, and TV BRICS, gaining a first-hand look at how international media operates and exchanging ideas with Russian colleagues.
The program also featured a series of meetings with key figures in Russian diplomacy and international relations, including Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Ryabkov, Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian MFA Maria Zakharova, HSE Vice Rector and Russia’s Sherpa in the W20 Victoria Panova, and Dmitry Rosenthal, Director of the Institute of Latin America of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
A special segment of the program focused on energy and sustainable development. The fellows attended the Russian Energy Week, where they met with TV host and President of the Global Energy Association Sergey Brilev, and took part in a press briefing with representatives of Rosatom to discuss prospects for international energy cooperation and Russia’s role in advancing green technologies.
The cultural part of the program included a visit to the Library for Foreign Literature, a tour of Moscow’s metro and public transport system, a Russian ballet performance at the State Kremlin Palace, and a trip to the historic town of Kolomna.
“The main outcome of the InteRussia Fellowship was the opportunity to deepen my understanding of Russian media and international communication, and also make important connections with specialists and colleagues. Overall, it helped me develop valuable research connections and gain first-hand experience in cross-cultural journalism,” — shared Paul Mathiasen, journalist at the Dominican outlet Listin Diario.
The InteRussia fellowship in journalism for Latin American countries is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund and the Sputnik International News Agency and Radio Broadcast Service within the framework of the New Generation program of Rossotrudnichestvo and with grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
