Meridian International Center seeks Letters of Intent (LOI) from experienced producers with demonstrated interest in engaging with foreign media and supporting emerging journalists. Producers working with Meridian have the unique opportunity to support foreign journalists and video production teams as they travel throughout the United States to interview policymakers, activists, private sector leaders, and everyday citizens that will help them tell a story of the United States through their lens. Interested applicants can review previous media exchange programs here.
Successful applicants will join a nationwide roster of pre-approved producers who are eligible to submit expressions of interest to contract with Meridian on a case-by-case basis to facilitate Foreign Press Centers (FPC) Media Co-ops and Small Reporting Tours (SRTs), which are international media productions facilitated by the U.S. Department of State’s Foreign Press Centers to assist foreign media outlets to report on location in the United States.
Letters of Intent should be submitted to the Meridian / FPC team at journalismfpc@meridian.org.
Meridian will work with the FPC to review all submitted Letters of Intent packages and will conduct interviews with select producers. Following the interviews, producers will be informed if they have been added to the group of approved producers to implement FPC-funded programs. For each new project, the FPC will invite approved producers to submit expressions of interest.
Any questions regarding the program or Request for Letters of Intent should be submitted to journalismfpc@meridian.org.
