About This Opportunity

The CJF Black Journalism Fellowships aim to amplify Black voices, improve coverage of Black issues in the news and cultivate future Black media leaders. The program offers multiple fellowship categories that provide unique opportunities for early-career Black journalists with one-to-five years of experience to be hosted for six months at major Canadian news organizations including CBC/Radio-Canada, The Globe and Mail, CTV News, or at the Institute for Better Health (IJB) at the University of Toronto's Dalla Lana School of Public Health. Each fellowship is designed to support professional development and foster the next generation of Black journalists in Canada. The program has been running since 2021 and has supported numerous fellows across different newsrooms and specializations. Fellows receive comprehensive support including a stipend and hands-on experience in professional newsrooms, working alongside experienced journalists and contributing to important stories about Black communities and issues.
