Ali El-Bahnasawy
Ali El-Bahnasawy, 28, is already earning a reputation in Cairo for investigative reporting and public interest stories. His work for sister magazines Egypt Today and Business Today reflect his curiosity about domestic politics, international affairs and government accountability.
He is also a passionate about reporting and writing, particularly as a tool to inform and educate Egypt's voters.
"The majority of of journalists in Egypt do what they see others doing, not what is supposed to be done," Mr. El-Bahnasawy writes, adding that he hopes to learn new skills and insights during his 10-week fellowship, and bring that knowledge home to share with other reporters.
