Applications are now welcome for the new Canadian Journalism Foundation (CJF) Black Journalism Fellowship program, established by the CJF in partnership with CBC/Radio-Canada and CTV News. The fellowships will amplify Black voices, improve coverage of Black issues in the news and cultivate future Black media leaders. The deadline is February 19.
The program includes the following opportunities:
- CJF-CBC/Radio-Canada Black Journalism Fellowship;
- CJF-CBC/Radio-Canada Black Women’s Journalism Fellowship; and
- CJF-CTV News Black Journalism Fellowship.
Each fellowship provides a unique opportunity for an early-career Black journalist—with one-to-five years’ experience—to be hosted for six months at a CBC/Radio-Canada (English and French) or CTV News newsroom across the country. The three fellows will receive mentoring and training for a variety of skills, including video and audio editing, writing, research and investigative reporting. Each recipient will receive a full-time stipend and write or produce an article/piece during their fellowship opportunity that will be considered for publication/broadcast by CBC/Radio-Canada and CTV News.
