Deadline Approaching for the Michelle Lang Fellowship

The Michelle Lang fellowships provides a huge, and unique, opportunity for students to spend a full year reporting in two of Canada’s busiest newsrooms. At the Calgary Herald, the fellow will hone skills and learn what it’s like to work at a major metro daily. At Postmedia News, opportunities abound for those who want to work on stories of national interest. Both newsrooms promise a welcoming, collaborative experience. In honour of Michelle Lang, who held a Bachelor of Arts, the fellowship is not limited to those studying journalism. Even better: The fellowship salary is approximately $40,000 for the year, plus funding for the fellow’s special project. To apply visit www.calgaryherald.com/michelle-lang-fellowship. Deadline to apply has been extended to June 3 for the September 2011 position.
