Young Journalist Program

Atlantic Forum's Young Journalist Program (YJP) helps young journalists and (military) public affairs officers discover what NATO does to safeguard the alliance. 

A first pilot program was launched in October 2019, which allowed young journalists to attend:

• The 65th Annual Session of the NATO parliamentary assembly in London; 

• The press conference of the NATO Leaders Meeting in London; 

• NATO Engages: Innovating the Alliance; 

• The Munich Security Conference in 2020.

What do we offer?

Enhancing Opportunity
Atlantic Forum will seek to enhance your journalist/public affairs career by providing opportunities that otherwise may appear to be behind closed doors or for a selected press group. Additionally, Atlantic Forum will host a series of private meetings with Ambassadors and other Distinguished Speakers, allowing you to be one of the first to report on new developments. 

Mentorship
The program attracts mentors with a distinguished journalism career to provide guidance and one-on-one mentorship.

Amplification
Additionally Atlantic Forum will leverage it's (social) media channels to amplify your published articles, allowing you to reach a wider audience of young professionals and key leaders in the transatlantic community.
