As Canada’s leading organizations empowering student leaders to advocate for Israel and galvanizing grassroots Canadians to fight media bias against Israel, HonestReporting Canada (HRC) and Allied Voices for Israel (AVI) are proud to join forces again for the second year of our Canadian Campus Media Fellowship, empowering student leaders to combat anti-Israel media bias on university campuses across the entire country.
In the backdrop of the October 7th massacre by Hamas terrorists, which saw the slaughter of over 1,200 innocent people in southern Israel and Israel’s self-defence efforts in Gaza, anti-Israel detractors have usurped the platforms of Canadian campus media and news platforms to foment discord, inflame tensions, and protract the conflict, leading to antisemitism and anti-Zionist rhetoric on campus. Our aspiring student journalists will work to stand for Israel and Canada’s Jewish community on campuses from across the country.
No longer will Jewish and Zionist students and supporters be marginalized, discriminated against, and intimidated on Canadian campuses. We are proud to form a united front to counter these threats head-on. If you’re a student at a Canadian university or college, apply now to join our prestigious Canadian Campus Media Fellowship.
Successful candidates will:
- Attend virtual media bias workshops conducted by HRC/AVI
- Monitor their local campus media
- Respond to problematic coverage, whether by filing complaints or submitting counter letters to the editor and rebuttal op-eds
- Proactively submit opinion commentaries and press releases to steer the conversation about Israel, following with the adage that the best defense is a strong offense
- Create and share pro-Israel content on social media and report antisemitic/anti-Israel content
Compensation: Each student will be paid $1,000 CDN upon successful completion of the Canadian Campus Media Fellowship.
This year’s program begins on January 11, 2024. To register, please use the form on this page. Registration ends on January 4, 2024..
