The Canadian Race Relations Foundation and The Walrus are pleased to partner on the launch of the inaugural CRRF Fellowship for Emerging Indigenous, Black, and Racialized Journalists at The Walrus. Colby Payne was selected as the top candidate among applicants from across Canada. With the generous support of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, Colby will fact-check print and online stories, attend editorial planning sessions, and shadow-edit articles that The Walrus publishes.
The one-year program provides an emerging media professional from a diverse and equity-deserving background with the opportunity to gain on-the-job experience at a national media outlet by working with, and receiving mentorship from, The Walrus editorial team.
