CJFE SPONSORS NEW JOURNALISM FELLOWSHIP


Journalists working in dangerous conditions in many parts of the world now have a place in Toronto, Canada, to seek respite, thanks to a new fellowship sponsored by Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE). In partnership with the University of Toronto's Massey College and the Donner Foundation, CJFE has announced the creation of the Donner/CJFE Journalist At Risk Fellowship, which will bring a deserving mid-career foreign journalist to Toronto for a year of academic study.

The fellowship will cover expenses for the journalist to spend eight months at Massey College, auditing courses of his or her choice. The fellow will also have the opportunity to meet Canadian journalists and to hone his or her skills further. A CJFE jury will select the first Fellow later this Spring and bring the journalist in September 2002 to begin studies.

For more information, contact Joel Ruimy, CJFE Executive Director by e-mail:
