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 2022. The application deadline is Monday, March 7, 2022 at 12 p.m. (noon) EST.
The fund was established to provide an annual award of up to $25,000 to cover travel, reporting and research expenses and a stipend for a journalist. It is administered by 杏吧原创 through its School of Journalism and Communication in the Faculty of Public Affairs.
The coronavirus pandemic continues to turn the notion of international reporting on its head, underscoring just how interconnected we all are. Understanding the linkages between our neighbourhoods and the rest of the world has never been more critical and the ongoing challenges to Canadian public policy on a range of issues have never been greater.
The Fellowship will be awarded in 2022, but applicants should assume that travel will continue to be difficult, and they should frame their story ideas and applications accordingly. The past year has 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’Universit茅 杏吧原创 accepte maintenant les candidatures 脿 pour un projet 脿 r茅aliser en 2022. La date limite de d茅p么t des candidatures est le lundi 7 mars 2022 脿 12 h (midi) HNE.
Le fond a 茅t茅 cr茅茅 pour offrir une bourse annuelle d’un maximum de 25 000 $ pour couvrir les frais de voyage, de reportage et de recherche et une allocation pour un journaliste. Il est administr茅 par l’脡cole de journalisme et de communication de la Facult茅 des Affaires Publiques de l’Universit茅 杏吧原创.
La pand茅mie de la COVID-19 continue de bouleverser la notion de reportage international, d茅montrant 脿 quel point nous sommes tous interconnect茅s. La compr茅hension des liens entre nos communaut茅s et le reste du monde n’a jamais 茅t茅 aussi essentielle et les d茅fis permanents pos茅s 脿 la politique publique canadienne sur toute une s茅rie de questions n’ont jamais 茅t茅 aussi grands.
La bourse sera attribu茅e en 2022, mais les candidats doivent supposer que les d茅placements continueront d’锚tre difficiles, et ils doivent formuler leurs id茅es de reportage et leurs demandes en cons茅quence. L’ann茅e 茅coul茅e nous a montr茅 que la cr茅ativit茅, aliment茅e par la n茅cessit茅 de voyager et de communiquer virtuellement, a donn茅 lieu 脿 des travaux puissants et convaincants, accessibles 脿 un public plus large que jamais.
La bourse comm茅more la carri猫re et les id茅aux de Jim Travers – reporter, correspondant 脿 l’茅tranger, directeur g茅n茅ral de Southam News, r茅dacteur en chef du Ottawa Citizen, directeur g茅n茅ral ex茅cutif du Toronto Star et chroniqueur national du Toronto Star au moment de son d茅c猫s le 3 mars 2011.
Des amis et des coll猫gues de M. Travers ont cr茅茅 le fonds de la bourse pour financer des projets importants de reportage 脿 l’茅tranger r茅alis茅s par des journalistes canadiens – salari茅s, pigistes ou 茅tudiants – travaillant dans n’importe quel m茅dia. La famille Travers soutient avec enthousiasme la bourse et participe activement 脿 son d茅veloppement.
La bourse refl猫te l’importance que Travers attachait 脿 ses six ann茅es de reportage en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient. Il croyait que les Canadiens m茅ritaient une couverture de premi猫re main et en profondeur d’histoires importantes 脿 l’ext茅rieur de nos fronti猫res. Il a soutenu avec passion qu’il est crucial pour les journalistes canadiens de 芦 t茅moigner 禄, car dans notre monde interconnect茅, les nouvelles 芦 茅trang猫res 禄 sont des nouvelles locales.
