JHR’s Enhanced Access for BIPOC Youth in Canadian Media is a first-of-its-kind initiative that aims to build and sustain pipelines of high-potential journalists to help diversify Canada’s media ecosystem. Our goal is to empower BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) youth who experience barriers to access opportunities in Canadian journalism and to remain in the industry.
This program is funded by RBC Foundation in support of RBC Future Launch and the Meta Journalism Project.
