CJF Indigenous Health Journalism Fellowship in partnership with the Canadian Medical Association
**Fellowship now open to freelancers and newsrooms**
Now in its second year, the CJF Indigenous Health Journalism Fellowship in partnership with the Canadian Medical Association fellowship is a groundbreaking initiative, aimed at fostering expert reporting on critical health issues affecting Indigenous communities in Canada. Open to Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) journalists working with a publishing partner to support editorial, production and multimedia capacity, this prestigious Fellowship provides a one-year research stipend of $100,000 for a mid-career Indigenous journalist with at least five years’ experience, and $50,000 publishing partner support. Fellows and their media partners will collaborate to produce impactful stories in one or more of the following media: broadcast documentary series, podcast, series of published articles by the end of 2027.
When possible, the Fellow and publishing partner will provide opportunities for Indigenous early career journalists to support impactful storytelling and media production throughout the Fellowship term.
