The Global News Scholarship will provide a UKC journalism student with $3,000 each year, over the course of four years.
Global News has launched a scholarship for Black youth entering the four-year journalism program at the University of King’s College in Halifax.
The scholarship will provide a student with $3,000 each year, over the course of four years, for a total of $12,000.
Brian Daly, an assistant professor at the School of Journalism, says it’s always good to have more funding to support youth.
“In the Black community, a lot of people are looking at STEM fields, they’re looking at business programs, law school, med school,” said Daly.
“What about journalism?” he said.
“Media has great power in holding powerful institutions accountable. You have to have people from various communities.”
Daly added having diverse people in the newsroom will bring more stories that otherwise wouldn’t be told.
“Networks, Global News being among them, understand that you need to have people from the African Nova Scotian community within this powerful network and system.”
