Growing Indigenous Storytellers Fellowship 

Program overview

This new initiative for emerging Indigenous journalists was jointly launched by Journalists for Human Rights, the Indigenous Journalists Association (IJA) and APTN News, with support from the Google News Initiative. 

Six Indigenous fellows had the opportunity to work at APTN News for a period of six months, and to connect with a wider network at IJA’s 2025 Indigenous Media Conference. In addition, the program offered a series of workshops and lectures with incredible guest speakers for both the fellows and the broader journalism community.
