‘Agents of change and transformation’: Carleton unveils new Indigenous journalism certificate – The Charlatan

February 12, 2025

Carleton University is launching the Certificate in Journalism in Indigenous Communities as a means of combatting the limited access to journalism education.

On Jan. 29, Carleton’s Ojigkwanong Indigenous Student Centre opened its doors to celebrate the certificate’s launch.

The certificate will begin in September 2025 and is a 10-month program that allows Indigenous students to study journalism in their home communities. The certificate is a mix of online synchronous and in-person courses taught by Indigenous instructors with software, technical gear and textbooks provided by the program.

The certificate also has three training intensives which will provide in-person media training for students. The first intensive will be held on Manitoulin Island, Ont. in September.
