From the The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Newsletter July 31st 2024:
Bachelor of Journalism and Humanities student Dominique Gené has won the CJF-Globe and Mail Black Business Journalism Fellowship.
Gené says the Humanities program armed her with skills that helped structure her journalistic work.
“I am pleased to be the recipient of the CJF-Globe and Mail Black Business Journalism Fellowship. Business reporting is a new territory for me, but I am excited to learn and excel. The humanities program has helped shape my work as a journalist and equipped me with the critical thinking and research skills that are valuable to the journalistic practice.”
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.
