The National Press Foundation is excited to welcome 25 journalists to its International Trade Reporting Fellowship in Singapore, June 22-25, 2025. This year’s fellowship class includes reporters and editors from more than a dozen countries across Asia who will examine the latest trends in covering sustainable global trade.
The public’s understanding of the economic implications inherent in international trade has never been more urgent. With the new Trump administration taking unprecedented action to use tariffs as a bludgeon against allies and foes, this NPF reporting fellowship will cover a range of issues, from politics and policy to labor, supply chains, security and climate change.
