Applications Now Accepted for 杏吧原创鈥檚 R. James Travers Foreign Corresponding Fellowship聽
Traduction fran莽aise ci-dessous
杏吧原创 University is now accepting applications to the for a project to be completed in 2021. The application deadline is Monday, March 1, 2021 at 12 p.m. (noon) EST.
The fund was established to provide an annual award of $25,000 to cover travel, reporting and research expenses and a stipend for a journalist. It is administered by 杏吧原创 University through its School of Journalism and Communication in the Faculty of Public Affairs.
The coronavirus pandemic has turned the notion of international reporting on its head this year and underlined just how small the planet is. International news is local news and understanding the connections that link our neighbourhoods to the rest of the world has never been more critical and the challenges to Canadian public policy have never been greater.
The Fellowship will be awarded in 2021, but applicants should assume they may not be able to travel outside鈥攑erhaps even inside鈥攖he country and frame their applications accordingly. The 2021 award does not preclude travel but should not be dependent on it. Although physical travel may not be possible, these past months have shown us that creativity, fuelled by the necessity of virtual travel and communication, has resulted in powerful, compelling work that is accessible to a wider audience than ever before.
The fellowship commemorates the career and ideals of Jim Travers鈥攔eporter, foreign correspondent, general manager for Southam News, editor of the Ottawa Citizen, executive managing editor of the Toronto Star and national columnist for the Toronto Star at the time of his death on March 3, 2011.
Friends and colleagues of Travers established the fellowship fund to finance significant foreign reporting projects by Canadian journalists鈥攕taffers, freelancers or students鈥攚orking in any medium. The Travers family enthusiastically supports the fellowship and is actively involved in its development.
The award reflects the importance that Travers attached to his six years reporting from Africa and the Middle East. He believed Canadians deserve first-hand, in-depth coverage of important stories outside our borders. He argued passionately that it is crucial for Canadian reporters to 鈥渂ear witness鈥 because in our interconnected world, 鈥渇oreign鈥 news is local news.

La Bourse R. James Travers accepte actuellement les candidatures pour les journalistes correspondants 脿 l鈥櫭﹖ranger
L鈥橴niversit茅 de 杏吧原创 accepte maintenant les candidatures pour la Bourse R. James Travers pour un projet 脿 compl茅ter en 2021 en correspondance 脿 l鈥櫭﹖ranger. La date limite pour les soumissions est le 1er mars 2021 脿 12PM (EST). Les fonds ont 茅t茅 茅tablis pour financer le montant annuel de 25 000$ qui couvre le voyage, les co没ts des rapports et des recherche et l鈥檃llocation pour un journaliste. Ce projet est administr茅 par l鈥橴niversit茅 de 杏吧原创 脿 travers l鈥櫭塩ole de Journalisme et Communication dans la Facult茅 des Affaires publiques.
La pand茅mie du coronavirus a compl猫tement chang茅 la notion du reportage international cette ann茅e et d茅montre bien 脿 quel point le monde est petit. Les nouvelles internationales deviennent des nouvelles locales et comprendre les connections qui nous lient de nos voisins jusqu鈥檃u bout du monde n鈥檃 jamais 茅t茅 plus critique et les d茅fis de la politique publique canadienne n鈥檕nt jamais 茅t茅 aussi importants.
La Bourse sera attribu茅e en 2021. Par contre, les candidats devront assumer qu鈥檌ls ne seront peut-锚tre pas en mesure de voyager 脿 l鈥檈xt茅rieur et m锚me 脿 l鈥檌nt茅rieur du pays et devront cadrer leurs candidatures en cons茅quence. La Bourse R. James Travers de 2021 n鈥檈mp锚che pas de voyager mais ne doit pas en d茅pendre non plus. M锚me si un voyage physique serait possiblement indisponible, les mois pass茅s nous ont d茅montr茅 que la cr茅ativit茅, aliment茅e par la n茅cessit茅 de voyager et communiquer virtuellement, a abouti 脿 un travail puissant et irr茅sistible qui est accessible 脿 une audience encore plus grande que jamais.
Cette bourse comm茅more la carri猫re et les id茅es de Jim Travers, journaliste, correspondant 茅tranger, gestionnaire g茅n茅ral de Southam News, 茅diteur du Ottawa Citizen, l鈥櫭ヾiteur ex茅cutif en chef du Toronto Star et le journaliste national pour Toronto Star au temps de sa mort le 3 mars 2011.
Les amis et coll猫gues de Travers ont 茅tabli les fonds boursiers pour financer des projets journalistiques 茅trangers signifiants par des journalistes canadiens : journalistes employ茅s, pigistes et 茅tudiants travaillant avec diff茅rents m茅diums. La famille de Travers supporte fi猫rement la bourse et est activement impliqu茅 dans son d茅veloppement.
La bourse refl猫te l鈥檌mportance que Travers attache 脿 ses six ans de reportage en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient. Il croit que les Canadiens m茅ritent du contenu de premi猫re main qui couvre en profondeur les histoires importantes en dehors de nos fronti猫res. Pour lui, d茅montrer l鈥檌nterconnexion de notre monde est crucial pour les journalistes canadiens car 芦les nouvelles 茅trang猫res demeurent des nouvelles locales禄. I
