Programme de bourses de journalisme FJC pour les personnes noires

Les lauréats des bourses de journalisme noir de la CJF

 

Toronto, May 12, 2025 – The Canadian Journalism Foundation (CJF) announced Myrialine Catule, Amal Mohamud, Adriel Smiley, Bianca Thompson and Kayla Thompson as recipients of this year’s  annual Black Journalism Fellowship Program, in partnership with CBC/Radio-Canada, CTV News, The Globe and Mail and the Investigative Journalism Bureau (IJB).

 

The fellowship program aims to amplify Black voices, improve coverage of Black issues in the news and cultivate future Black media leaders. Each fellowship provides a unique opportunity for an early-career Black journalist—with one-to-five years’ experience—to be hosted for six months at CBC/Radio-Canada (English and French), The Globe and Mail, a CTV News newsroom or at the IJB at the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health Sciences.

 

The Fellowship recipients are:

  • Myrialine Catule, a recent graduate of Concordia University with a Bachelor of Arts and Science in Journalism, recipient of the CJF-IJB Black Journalism Fellowship;
  • Amal Mohamud, a first-generation Somali-Canadian journalist and producer living in Edmonton, recipient of the CJF-CBC/Radio-Canada Black Women’s Journalism Fellowship;
  • Adriel Smiley, an award-winning Toronto-based journalist and multimedia storyteller and creator of the acclaimed podcast Album Mode, recipient of the CJF-CBC/Radio-Canada Black Journalism Fellowship;
  • Bianca Thompson, a Toronto-based freelance multimedia journalist, recipient of the CJF-Globe and Mail Black Business Journalism Fellowship; and
  • Kayla Thompson, a Toronto-based journalist currently working at Caribbean Vibrations TV, recipient of the CJF-CTV News Black Journalism Fellowship.
