 [LE FRAN\u00c7AIS SUIT L\u2019ANGLAIS]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The co-chairs of the Travers Fellowship Steering Committee, Carleton University\u2019s Susan Harada of the School of Journalism and Communication<\/a> and Ben Travers, announced today that Stephanie Dubois, a CBC News journalist and freelance writer based in Edmonton, has been awarded this year\u2019s $25,000 R. James Travers Foreign Corresponding Fellowship<\/a>. The fellowship is administered by Carleton and annually supports a significant foreign reporting project by Canadian journalists or journalism students. Dubois will travel to the Philippines to explore the overseas recruitment of Filipino nurses by Canadian governments. She will ask whether this practice is a sustainable, ethical solution to Canada\u2019s nursing shortage, particularly at a time when the Philippines is facing its own significant nursing shortage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDubois\u2019 proposed project speaks to health-care system crises both here and abroad,\u201d Harada said. Travers added, \u201cIt raises complicated questions about the feasibility of Canada attempting to address its own issues on the backs of other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dubois\u2019 planned series of radio documentaries and online feature articles will be produced for CBC\u2019s White Coat, Black Art<\/em> and the CBC News online platform. She noted that governments in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in particular have accelerated their recruitment drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA shortage of nurses remains a huge issue, with Canadian politicians attempting to attract more Filipino nurses to fill nursing vacancies,\u201d she said. \u201cI plan to explore the issue from the perspective of Filipino nurses and their families, and will examine the effects of international recruitment on patient access to the health-care system in the Philippines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fellowship was established in 2011 in honour of Jim Travers, a former editor, political columnist, and foreign correspondent who deeply believed in the value of international journalism. As the latest recipient of the award, Dubois said she will honour his legacy by bearing witness to recruitment on the ground in the Philippines, and just as important, by examining the public policies that allow those efforts to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Dubois<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephanie Dubois is a journalist at CBC News and a freelance writer based in Edmonton, Alberta. She has more than 13 years of reporting experience, most recently covering government promises made during the COVID-19 pandemic and women\u2019s health issues for CBC, where she also produces the weekly health podcast, The Dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Jim Travers
\n<\/strong>Travers worked as the Southam News<\/em> correspondent in Africa and the Middle East during the 1980s covering major stories \u2013 from apartheid in South Africa and the Ethiopian famine to the conflict in Lebanon and the Iran-Iraq war. Returning to Canada, he continued an influential career as general manager of Southam News<\/em>, editor of the Ottawa Citizen<\/em>, executive managing editor of the Toronto Star<\/em> and finally as an award-winning national affairs columnist known for his compassion and playful wit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2013 because in our interconnected world, foreign news is local news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’Universit\u00e9 Carleton d\u00e9voile le nom du gagnant de la bourse de correspondance \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger R. James Travers pour 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les copr\u00e9sidents du comit\u00e9 directeur de la bourse Travers, Susan Harada de l’\u00c9cole de journalisme et de communication de l’Universit\u00e9 Carleton et Ben Travers, ont annonc\u00e9 aujourd’hui que St\u00e9phanie Dubois, journaliste de CBC News et r\u00e9dactrice pigiste bas\u00e9e \u00e0 Edmonton, a re\u00e7u cette ann\u00e9e la bourse de correspondance \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger R. James Travers, d’une valeur de 25 000 $. La bourse est administr\u00e9e par l’Universit\u00e9 Carleton et soutient chaque ann\u00e9e un important projet de reportage \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par des journalistes ou des \u00e9tudiants canadiens en journalisme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mme Dubois se rendra aux Philippines pour \u00e9tudier le recrutement \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger d’infirmiers philippins par le gouvernement canadien. Elle se demandera si cette pratique constitue une solution durable et \u00e9thique \u00e0 la p\u00e9nurie d’infirmiers au Canada, particuli\u00e8rement \u00e0 un moment o\u00f9 les Philippines font face \u00e0 leur propre p\u00e9nurie d’infirmiers et infirmi\u00e8res.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Le projet propos\u00e9 par Mme Dubois s’inscrit dans le cadre des crises du syst\u00e8me de soins de sant\u00e9, tant ici qu’\u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Mme Harada. M. Travers a ajout\u00e9 : \u00ab Cela soul\u00e8ve des questions complexes sur la possibilit\u00e9 pour le Canada de tenter de r\u00e9soudre ses propres probl\u00e8mes sur le dos d’autres pays. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La s\u00e9rie de documentaires radiophoniques et d’articles de fond en ligne pr\u00e9vue par Mme Dubois sera produite pour l’\u00e9mission White Coat, Black Art de la CBC et la plateforme en ligne CBC News. Elle note que les gouvernements de l’Alberta, de la Saskatchewan et du Manitoba en particulier ont acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9 leurs campagnes de recrutement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab La p\u00e9nurie d’infirmiers reste un probl\u00e8me \u00e9norme, et les politiciens canadiens tentent d’attirer davantage d’infirmiers et infirmi\u00e8res philippins pour combler les postes vacants \u00bb, a-t-elle d\u00e9clar\u00e9. \u00ab Je pr\u00e9vois d’explorer la question du point de vue des infirmiers philippins et de leurs familles, et j’examinerai les effets du recrutement international sur l’acc\u00e8s des patients au syst\u00e8me de soins de sant\u00e9 aux Philippines. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La bourse a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9e en 2011 en l’honneur de Jim Travers, un ancien r\u00e9dacteur en chef, chroniqueur en politique et correspondant \u00e9tranger qui croyait profond\u00e9ment en la valeur du journalisme international. En tant que derni\u00e8re laur\u00e9ate de la bourse, Mme Dubois a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu’elle honorerait son h\u00e9ritage en t\u00e9moignant du recrutement sur le terrain aux Philippines et, tout aussi important, en examinant les politiques publiques qui permettent \u00e0 ces efforts de se produire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 propos de Dubois<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephanie Dubois est journaliste \u00e0 CBC News et r\u00e9dactrice pigiste \u00e0 Edmonton, en Alberta. Elle a plus de 13 ans d’exp\u00e9rience en journalisme et a r\u00e9cemment couvert les promesses gouvernementales faites pendant la pand\u00e9mie de COVID-19 et les questions de sant\u00e9 des femmes pour CBC, o\u00f9 elle produit \u00e9galement le podcast hebdomadaire sur la sant\u00e9, The Dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 propos de Jim Travers <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim Travers a travaill\u00e9 comme correspondant de Southam News en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient au cours des ann\u00e9es 1980, couvrant des sujets majeurs \u2013 de l’apartheid en Afrique du Sud \u00e0 la famine en \u00c9thiopie au conflit au Liban et \u00e0 la guerre Iran-Irak. De retour au Canada, il a poursuivi une carri\u00e8re influente en tant que directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Southam News, r\u00e9dacteur en chef \u00e0 l\u2019Ottawa Citizen, r\u00e9dacteur en chef ex\u00e9cutif du Toronto Star et enfin chroniqueur prim\u00e9 en affaires nationales, connu pour sa compassion et son esprit enjou\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il croyait que les Canadiens m\u00e9ritaient une couverture de premi\u00e8re main et en profondeur des \u00e9v\u00e9nements importants survenant \u00e0 l’ext\u00e9rieur de nos fronti\u00e8res. Il soutenait avec passion qu’il est crucial pour les journalistes canadiens de \u00ab t\u00e9moigner \u00bb, car dans notre monde interconnect\u00e9, les nouvelles \u00e9trang\u00e8res sont des nouvelles locales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
