2020-2021 Atkinson Fellowship in Public Policy

The Canadian news media industry is changing, so “The Atkinson” must change too. After more than thirty years, this one-year fellowship program has come to an end. The foundation is taking some time to consider how best to continue investing in journalists who — in the Atkinson tradition — can have a significant positive impact on Canada’s public policy discourse.

This year, the focus is on 2020 – 2021 Atkinson Fellow in Public Policy Stephanie Nolen’s timely series on COVID-19, and bringing it into the public policy arena as quickly as possible.New opportunities when developed will be posted at https://theatkinson.ca/#apply.
