The Adenauer Fellowship for Media and Communication is a scholarship offered by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS), Media Programme Asia. The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung is one of the German political foundations by the Christian Democratic Union. In its effort to promote Democracy and the Rule of Law, KAS is running three media programmes worldwide, in Sub-Saharan Africa, South East Europe, and Asia.
