Bridging Divides Journalism Fellows at the Global Migration Institute

The Bridging Divides Journalism Fellowship focuses on the intersection of technology, innovation, and migration, providing a platform for journalists to explore how these forces shape the lives of immigrants worldwide. The fellowship promotes collaboration between researchers and journalists, enabling them to share evidence-based insights on how advancements in technology impact migration patterns, integration processes, and the experiences of migrants.

During their month-long residency at the Global Migration Institute in Toronto, fellows have the chance to conduct their own field research, collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of experts in migration studies and technology, and engage with local stakeholders. By combining cutting-edge research with hands-on reporting, this program aims to equip journalists with the tools to elevate their coverage of migration while driving forward innovative approaches to storytelling in the digital age.
