The Canadian Journalism Foundation (CJF) and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) are inviting applications for the Indigenous Journalism Fellowships to encourage Indigenous voices and issues in the media.
The CJF-CBC Indigenous Journalism Fellowships are offered to two Indigenous journalists with one to ten years of experience to explore an issue of interest, while being hosted for one month at the CBC News Indigenous Unit in Winnipeg.
The award aims to promote a better understanding of Aboriginal issues on the part of the mainstream media and community radio stations in Canada.
Criteria
Successful applicants will:
- Spend one month (June, September or October, 2022) with the CBC News Indigenous Unit in Winnipeg. This may be offered as a remote experience.
- Have a training stipend of $4,000, all associated travel and accommodation, a per diem for meals and other reasonable expenses, provided by The Canadian Journalism Foundation.
- Write or produce an article/piece or series upon completion of their fellowship opportunity, which will be considered for publication or broadcast by CBC News.
The recipient will be selected by a jury. All arrangements for the award assignment will be made in consultation with award winners.
Judging Methodology
- The judging panel is comprised of four to eight jurors who review all submitted entries through an online portal, rank the entries and then attend a meeting with their rankings to agree upon the recipients of the award.
- The recipients are announced in April or May, and are recognized at the annual CJF Awards virtual ceremony in June 2022.
