Honouring their exceptional impact—on a national and international level— providing accurate and vital information amid the uncertainty of the fast-moving global COVID-19 pandemic
2021 SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE Last year showed the world how vital facts can be. And how threatened.
In the face of a global pandemic, journalists went to work to keep people informed and empowered. Now, it’s time to celebrate the remarkable individuals championing the truth when it’s needed most.
The Canadian Journalism Foundation (CJF) has supported quality journalism for more than 30 years. This year’s CJF Awards will be our second virtual gathering of journalists, newsmakers and partners from across the country and beyond, celebrating journalistic achievement and emerging talent through a range of awards and fellowships.
The CJF’s programs — which include a journalism talk series, news literacy campaigns, education and research — are made possible by the generosity of sponsors who believe in the importance of journalism today.
We hope you’ll join us.
At a time when truth and trust are so critical to overcoming monumental challenges, fact-based reporting deserves support. As journalism goes, so goes democracy.
2021 SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE THE CANADIAN JOURNALISM FOUNDATION IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT CELEBRATES EXCELLENCE IN JOURNALISM.
“By affirming the best of our work, the CJF Awards encourage us to keep striving and questioning. With awards and fellowships that identify the promise in those with emerging careers, they underline the importance of new voices and renewed thinking. Their recognition offers examples of how inspiring and relevant journalism is—and always will be.”
