OTTAWA, ON, Feb. 2, 2024 /CNW/ - Submissions for the 2023 Michener Award, Canada's premier journalism award, and for the two Michener Fellowships, are being accepted until 11:59 PM EST, February 16, 2024. Submissions can be made at www.michenerawards.ca
The Michener Award is presented annually to news organizations, rather than individuals. Entries are judged for their professionalism, their impact on the public, and the degree of arms-length public benefit that is generated. The Michener Awards Foundation offers two fellowships, one in support of investigative reporting and one dedicated to the enrichment of journalism education. Each fellowship is for $40,000 and up to $5,000 in expenses.
The Michener – Deacon Fellowship for Investigative Reporting, supported through TD Bank Group, encourages excellence in journalism that serves the public interest through improvements in public policy, ethical standards, corporate governance or the lives of Canadians.
The Michener – L. Richard O'Hagan Fellowship for Journalism Education is dedicated to the advancement and enrichment of the education of Canadian journalists and journalism students, and is supported by BMO Financial Group. Learn more about Fellowship eligibility here.
Winners will be announced at the Michener Awards ceremony in June 2024.
Our thanks to Cision for sponsoring this announcement.
