Reader Monique Doppert wrote in saying that Dutch NGO Hivos and broadcaster Vpro are searching for local video correspondents for a new foreign affairs programme. If you’re interested read on:

VPRO Television (based in The Netherlands) is currently recruiting innovative videojournalists and filmmakers from all over the world for a new GLOBAL network of correspondents. The network aims to provide strong LOCAL news and background stories, video diaries, clips and creative short films based on weekly themes and with a personal touch. We’re looking for skilled young journalist and filmmakers, who can contribute 1 – 4 short stories monthly. The videojournalists need to have filming/editing skills and access to equipment in their countries, and will be paid accordingly. The stories will be featured on a 24/7 website in Dutch and English and a selection will be shown in a weekly broadcast on national Dutch TV. Please contact the editors of this program at timbuktu@vpro.nl if you fit the profile or know of anyone else who does! Thank you in advance.
