DEADLINE: Indigenous Journalism Fellowship in B.C., Canada
Event Date:
November 2, 2025
The Indigenous Journalists Association (IJA), in partnership with The Narwhal and IndigiNews, is excited to launch the Indigenous Journalism Fellowship -- a year-long, full-time opportunity designed to support and elevate Indigenous voices in Canadian media.
This new fellowship offers hands-on newsroom experience, mentorship, and professional development for an early- or mid-career Indigenous journalist ready to take on ambitious reporting projects and strengthen their skills in investigative and solutions journalism.
Working with The Narwhal’s editorial team, in partnership with the Indigenous Journalists Association (IJA) and IndigiNews, the Indigenous journalism fellowship is a one-year opportunity for an early- or mid-career Indigenous journalist who is looking to develop their professional skills and undertake ambitious reporting projects with support and guidance.
The fellow will gain experience in an award-winning newsroom and develop their instincts and abilities as a journalist. They will also receive mentorship and professional development from the Indigenous Journalists Association, and editorial support from IndigiNews. Stories produced by the fellow may be published by both The Narwhal and IndigiNews.
The purpose of this fellowship is to build career pathways for Indigenous journalists, who remain underrepresented in Canadian media, particularly beyond entry-level positions.
This fellowship is open to First Nations, Inuit and Métis applicants, or Native American tribal citizens and descendants who are living and working in British Columbia. (For this initial fellowship, applicants based primarily in B.C. are preferred for an on-the-ground reporting experience.)
Deadline: Nov 2, 2025
The Narwhal is working to build an inclusive and equitable team that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome applications from Indigenous candidates who also identify as 2SLGBTQ+, are multiracial, live with disabilities, or come from low-income communities.
