BONUS: Why Canadaland Doesn’t Have Interns

CANADALAND

Last year Canadaland launched a new initiative called the Canadalabs Audio Journalism Fellowship programme, where we hired two young reporters to come and produce a story with us and learn from our team.

This week, we caught up with past Canadaland fellows to see how they’ve fared. Was their time at Canadaland worth it?

And we are talking about that because we have a fresh batch of fellows that will be joining the team very soon!

Plus, an update about the future of this show.
