JOURNALISM SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED BY THE

NATIONAL PRESS CLUB OF CANADA

Tim Kane, vice-president of the National Press Club presents the first $3,000 scholarship cheque to Jessie Worobey, a first year student at Canadore College.
The fabulous Ray Stone concludes his role as master of ceremonies to well-deserved applause.

Honourable Sheila Copps, vice-president of the National Press Club addressed the gala on the importance of quality journalism, the changing face of the craft from her early career, through her years of politics and her recent return to journalism.

Three Canadian journalism students were awarded a total of $18,000 in funding from the first–ever scholarships from the National Press Club of Canada (NPC). The winners were selected through a national competition that was open to journalism students attending Canadian colleges and universities. In order to continue receiving the scholarship funds, the recipients must maintain good academic standing and be enrolled full-time in a recognized journalism program in Canada.

Fund for the Family of Slain Afghan Journalist

Javed "Jojo' Yazamy

In March of this year, the Canadian press core lost a friend and colleague in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Only months after being released from a U.S. prison in Bagram, Javed 'Jojo' Yazamy was murdered in Kandahar city. Jojo was a fixer, primarily for CTV, but known to every reporter in southern Afghanistan as fearless, determined and passionate about telling the story of this war and its impact on his family and those he considered adopted family, Canadians.

His death is a blow for his Afghan colleagues, his Canadian comrades, for journalism in Afghanistan but also for his family. His father, an ill mother, two brothers and four sisters all depended on his income. They are now saddled with the debt of working to secure his release from prison and also left with the many financial obligations Jojo took on as he sought to improve his skills to be ever more an asset to the coverage of the war in Afghanistan.

Jojo considered Canadians as his brothers and sisters. There was nothing he wouldn't do for us, and now we want to honour that. With your support, we hope to raise $15,000 to help ease some of the crushing financial burden faced by his family.
