ATKINSON FELLOWSHIP
The Atkinson Fellowship In Public Policy, an award to Canadian journalists, established in 1988, is now entering its sixteenth year. The award is designed to further both the tradition of liberal jounalism in Canada and the commitment to social and economic justice of Joseph E. Atkinson, former publisher of the Toronto Star.
The Fellowship, worth up to $100,000, is sponsored by the Atkinson Charitable Foundation, The Toronto Star, and the family of Beland Honderich.
Full-time Canadian journalists in any of the print or broadcast media, either English or French, are eligible to apply for the fellowship. The successful candidate will pursue a year long research project on a topical policy issue and publish the results as a series of newspaper articles which the journalist is then free to develop into a book. As well as the $75,000 stipend, the Atkinson fellow may receive up to $25,000 for research expenses.
The members of the Selection Committee include Committee Chair, John Honderich, Publisher of the Toronto Star; Rosalie Silberman Abella, Justice, Ontario Court of Appeal; Peter A. Armstrong, Trustee of the Atkinson Charitable Foundation; Paul Fox, professor Emeritus, University of Toronto, Dona Harvey, Journalist; and Charles E. Pascal, Executive Director of the Atkinson Charitable Foundation.
Closing date for this year's entries was March 17, 2003.
