Applications opened this week for a year-long fellowship that gives a Canadian journalist the opportunity to study and broaden their intellectual horizons at Harvard University. The 2019-2020 Martin Wise Goodman Canadian Nieman Fellowship is open to applications from October 1 to December 1.

Mid-career journalists -- including freelancers, photojournalists, editorial cartoonists, columnists and broadcast producers, are all invited to apply. To be eligible, you must be a Canadian citizen and a working journalist with at least five years of professional media experience.
