Justice Fund and The Walrus are pleased to announce that the second winner of the Justice Fund Writing Residency for Emerging Black Journalists has been selected. Connor Garel, a culture writer with bylines in The Walrus, the Globe and Mail, Vice, Vanity Fair, and Huffington Post, will be joining The Walrus to produce art features for publication.
The residency was launched in 2021, and Julia-Simone Rutgers was selected as the inaugural candidate. Rutgers’s story on the housing crisis, “No Place to Live,” was the cover story of the September/October 2022 issue of The Walrus. Following the completion of the residency, Rutgers went on to join The Narwhal as their Manitoba Environment Reporter.
