Carleton University is now accepting applications to the R. James Travers Foreign Corresponding Fellowship<\/a> for a project to be completed in 2022. The application deadline is Monday, March 7, 2022 at 12 p.m. (noon) EST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

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.<\/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’Universit\u00e9 Carleton accepte maintenant les candidatures \u00e0 la bourse de correspondance \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger R. James Travers<\/a> pour un projet \u00e0 r\u00e9aliser en 2022. La date limite de d\u00e9p\u00f4t des candidatures est le lundi 7 mars 2022 \u00e0 12 h (midi) HNE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le fond a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9 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\u00e9 par l’\u00c9cole de journalisme et de communication<\/a> de la Facult\u00e9 des Affaires Publiques<\/a> de l’Universit\u00e9 Carleton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La pand\u00e9mie de la COVID-19 continue de bouleverser la notion de reportage international, d\u00e9montrant \u00e0 quel point nous sommes tous interconnect\u00e9s. La compr\u00e9hension des liens entre nos communaut\u00e9s et le reste du monde n’a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 aussi essentielle et les d\u00e9fis permanents pos\u00e9s \u00e0 la politique publique canadienne sur toute une s\u00e9rie de questions n’ont jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 aussi grands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La bourse sera attribu\u00e9e en 2022, mais les candidats doivent supposer que les d\u00e9placements continueront d’\u00eatre difficiles, et ils doivent formuler leurs id\u00e9es de reportage et leurs demandes en cons\u00e9quence. L’ann\u00e9e \u00e9coul\u00e9e nous a montr\u00e9 que la cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9, aliment\u00e9e par la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de voyager et de communiquer virtuellement, a donn\u00e9 lieu \u00e0 des travaux puissants et convaincants, accessibles \u00e0 un public plus large que jamais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La bourse comm\u00e9more la carri\u00e8re et les id\u00e9aux de Jim Travers – reporter, correspondant \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger, directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Southam News, r\u00e9dacteur en chef du Ottawa Citizen, directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral ex\u00e9cutif du Toronto Star et chroniqueur national du Toronto Star au moment de son d\u00e9c\u00e8s le 3 mars 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Des amis et des coll\u00e8gues de M. Travers ont cr\u00e9\u00e9 le fonds de la bourse pour financer des projets importants de reportage \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger r\u00e9alis\u00e9s par des journalistes canadiens – salari\u00e9s, pigistes ou \u00e9tudiants – travaillant dans n’importe quel m\u00e9dia. La famille Travers soutient avec enthousiasme la bourse et participe activement \u00e0 son d\u00e9veloppement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La bourse refl\u00e8te l’importance que Travers attachait \u00e0 ses six ann\u00e9es de reportage en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient. Il croyait que les Canadiens m\u00e9ritaient une couverture de premi\u00e8re main et en profondeur d’histoires importantes \u00e0 l’ext\u00e9rieur de nos fronti\u00e8res. Il a soutenu avec passion qu’il est crucial pour les journalistes canadiens de \u00ab t\u00e9moigner \u00bb, car dans notre monde interconnect\u00e9, les nouvelles \u00ab \u00e9trang\u00e8res \u00bb sont des nouvelles locales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
