Professional Development Support & Masterclasses
Are you a journalism professional, working for a news source in BC? Or maybe you’re a journalism educator in the province?
You could be eligible to receive a Professional Development Grant in order to take a course(s) to further your journalism career or receive funding to embark upon a self-defined project/area of study. Over the course of the year the Foundation also provides free masterclasses for those in the journalism industry to brush up on old, or learn new skills – just two ways the Foundation seeks to foster excellence in journalism. Check out the information below.
BC Journalism Fellowship
Apply for the Lieutenant Governor’s B.C. Journalism Fellowship which provides funding for journalists to invest the time and resources in producing in-depth coverage on topics of importance to British Columbians.
Professional Development Course and Self-Directed Professional Development
Apply for funding to take a course, or apply for funds to embark upon a self-directed project that will advance your professional development.
Attend Masterclasses
At various times in the year the Foundation holds masterclasses for working and student journalists, as well as for journalism educators and those involved in the profession.
“Poynter’s course also helped me better understand the impact of journalists’ work, and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you again for this opportunity.”
