Carleton University is now accepting applications to the R. James Travers Foreign Corresponding Fellowship<\/a> for a project to be completed in 2021. The application deadline is Monday, March 1, 2021 at 12 p.m. (noon) EST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 Carleton University through its School of Journalism and Communication<\/a> in the Faculty of Public Affairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fellowship will be awarded in 2021, but applicants should assume they may not be able to travel outside\u2014perhaps even inside\u2014the 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fellowship commemorates the career and ideals of Jim Travers\u2014reporter, foreign correspondent, general manager for Southam News, editor of the Ottawa Citizen<\/em>, executive managing editor of the Toronto Star<\/em> and national columnist for the Toronto Star<\/em> at the time of his death on March 3, 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friends and colleagues of Travers established the fellowship fund to finance significant foreign reporting projects by Canadian journalists\u2014staffers, freelancers or students\u2014working in any medium. The Travers family enthusiastically supports the fellowship and is actively involved in its development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201cbear witness\u201d because in our interconnected world, \u201cforeign\u201d news is local news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Bourse R. James Travers accepte actuellement les candidatures pour les journalistes correspondants \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Carleton accepte maintenant les candidatures pour la Bourse R. James Travers pour un projet \u00e0 compl\u00e9ter en 2021 en correspondance \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger. La date limite pour les soumissions est le 1er <\/sup>mars 2021 \u00e0 12PM (EST). Les fonds ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tablis pour financer le montant annuel de 25 000$ qui couvre le voyage, les co\u00fbts des rapports et des recherche et l\u2019allocation pour un journaliste. Ce projet est administr\u00e9 par l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Carleton \u00e0 travers l\u2019\u00c9cole de Journalisme et Communication dans la Facult\u00e9 des Affaires publiques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La pand\u00e9mie du coronavirus a compl\u00e8tement chang\u00e9 la notion du reportage international cette ann\u00e9e et d\u00e9montre bien \u00e0 quel point le monde est petit. Les nouvelles internationales deviennent des nouvelles locales et comprendre les connections qui nous lient de nos voisins jusqu\u2019au bout du monde n\u2019a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 plus critique et les d\u00e9fis de la politique publique canadienne n\u2019ont jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 aussi importants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Bourse sera attribu\u00e9e en 2021. Par contre, les candidats devront assumer qu\u2019ils ne seront peut-\u00eatre pas en mesure de voyager \u00e0 l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur et m\u00eame \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur du pays et devront cadrer leurs candidatures en cons\u00e9quence. La Bourse R. James Travers de 2021 n\u2019emp\u00eache pas de voyager mais ne doit pas en d\u00e9pendre non plus. M\u00eame si un voyage physique serait possiblement indisponible, les mois pass\u00e9s nous ont d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que la cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9, aliment\u00e9e par la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de voyager et communiquer virtuellement, a abouti \u00e0 un travail puissant et irr\u00e9sistible qui est accessible \u00e0 une audience encore plus grande que jamais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cette bourse comm\u00e9more la carri\u00e8re et les id\u00e9es de Jim Travers, journaliste, correspondant \u00e9tranger, gestionnaire g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Southam News, \u00e9diteur du Ottawa Citizen, l\u2019\u00e9diteur ex\u00e9cutif en chef du Toronto Star<\/em> et le journaliste national pour Toronto Star <\/em>au temps de sa mort le 3 mars 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les amis et coll\u00e8gues de Travers ont \u00e9tabli les fonds boursiers pour financer des projets journalistiques \u00e9trangers signifiants par des journalistes canadiens : journalistes employ\u00e9s, pigistes et \u00e9tudiants travaillant avec diff\u00e9rents m\u00e9diums. La famille de Travers supporte fi\u00e8rement la bourse et est activement impliqu\u00e9 dans son d\u00e9veloppement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La bourse refl\u00e8te l\u2019importance que Travers attache \u00e0 ses six ans de reportage en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient. Il croit que les Canadiens m\u00e9ritent du contenu de premi\u00e8re main qui couvre en profondeur les histoires importantes en dehors de nos fronti\u00e8res. Pour lui, d\u00e9montrer l\u2019interconnexion de notre monde est crucial pour les journalistes canadiens car \u00ables nouvelles \u00e9trang\u00e8res demeurent des nouvelles locales\u00bb.
