“I\u2019m delighted to be working with TVO and Carleton University to improve journalistic coverage of disability throughout the field,\u201d Trick said. \u201cTo me, there could be no better educational partner: I have benefited from Carleton’s commitment to disability inclusion and to diversity as a student, and the professionalism, rigour, dedication, and compassion of the School of Journalism’s faculty continue to influence my journalistic practice to this day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trick said that she and King want the curriculum they develop to be a resource to journalists and students of all ages and skill levels \u201cto help us all tell deeper, richer, and most importantly, truer stories about disability.”<\/p>\n
According to a press release from the Michener Awards Foundation, the Michener jury \u201cfelt that disability is often an unseen factor, despite the fact that Statistic Canada estimates one in five Canadians have a disability.\u201d<\/p>\n

In their submission, Trick and King wrote that: \u201cJournalists are not and should not be activists, but they do have the responsibility to accurately reflect the communities they cover and live in.\u201d The style guide will be easily accessible and easily updated as it will be in a digital format.<\/p>\n
The Michener release noted that Sarah Trick, the lead journalist on this project, is a multiply-disabled, neurodivergent digital media producer at TVO.\u00a0 Her work has appeared in The Walrus, CBC and TVO. Alanna King brings her rich teaching and instructional designer experience to the project. She is also employed at TVO.<\/p>\n
Michener fellowship recipients are traditionally honoured at an annual ceremony at Rideau Hall, hosted by the Governor General of Canada, which ultimately unveils the winner of the prestigious Michener Award for public service journalism in Canada.<\/p>\n
This year, after two years of virtual ceremonies due to the global pandemic, the ceremony will be held live at Rideau Hall on June 16, 2023 (date subject to change based on the Governor General\u2019s special responsibilities).<\/p>\n

Richard O\u2019Hagan Fellowship for Journalism Education, supported by BMO Financial Group, is dedicated to the advancement and\u00a0enrichment of the education of Canadian journalists and journalism students.
