Audio Journalism Fellowship Program
Immerse yourself inside Canadaland’s newsroom for four months, learning how to create exceptional audio journalism. Grow your skills while taking your project from pitch to publication.
This is a paid program offering two early-career audio journalists a four-month placement in Canadaland’s newsroom and an opportunity to work alongside and learn from our team of seasoned audio storytelling professionals. Fellows will receive support with research, reporting, scripting, storytelling, and audio production, and will complete an audio piece from start to finish under the guidance of our newsroom team.
We are looking to recruit and place two third- or fourth-year undergraduate or masters students or new-to-audio journalists who have a deep interest in telling stories with sound and who have a story or project they are keen to report. This 16-week part-time fellowship at Canadaland’s Toronto office will take place from September – December 2025. Over that time, fellows will aim to complete a project of 20-30 minutes in length that could be published on the Canadaland network.
Applications for the Fall 2025 program are open from May 14 until June 15.
