Are you a journalist at the beginning of your career with a passion for social justice?

This four-month long fellowship supports emerging journalists who are enthusiastic about social justice forward reporting.
For the first three months of this fellowship, the rabble.ca Journalism for Change fellow will produce weekly news hits with direction from rabble’s editor Nick Seebruch in the digital newsroom developing long-form feature articles and producing daily news hits.
