Well my view is
Well my view is that to some extent I support this kind of 'discrimination' because if one is to compare the living standards in Europe and the level of renumeration it does not anywhere compare to what journalists from developed countries get. Hence Reuters have to find a way throughwhich they can support writers from developing nations and charging journalists from the developed is the way to go.
This is very right. Let's grow journalism across the globe and of course we must not be blind to the fact that someone somewhere has to take the tab.

Reuters and oth
Reuters and other renowed institutions across the globe often offer scholarships for the developed countries' journalists. Am I right to be frank to say that richer for richer not for the poor countries' journalists. Will the Reuters accept my application for any schorship or fellowship if I apply for anyone of this? Yes, I am a professional journalist in senior level position working for a oldest English daily in my country. Can the Reuters set an example to do this without any discrimination?
