CJF-CBC Indigenous Journalism Fellowship

The CJF-CBC Indigenous Journalism Fellowship is offered to a First Nation, Inuit or Métis journalist with one to ten years of experience to explore an issue of interest, while being hosted for four months at a CBC location. The award aims to foster better comprehension of Indigenous issues in Canada's major media and community outlets. The successful applicant will spend four months with CBC Indigenous, receive a stipend of $30,000 provided by The Canadian Journalism Foundation, and write or produce a piece or series upon completion of their fellowship opportunity, which will be considered for publication or broadcast by CBC News. This enhanced format reflects the CJF's commitment to providing deeper, more meaningful professional development opportunities that allow Indigenous journalists to fully integrate into newsroom operations and develop richer, more impactful stories.
