Right to Voice: JHR UBC Inaugural Human Rights Magazine
Right to Voice: Submission Guidelines
JHR UBC Inaugural Human Rights Magazine
JHR UBC—the UBC Chapter of Journalists for Human Rights, an international media development organization—is seeking pitches for short articles, photo essays, and feature submissions for the upcoming issue of its magazine Right to Voice, themed “Olympics, Human Rights & the Media: Past and Present”
This will be the inaugural issue of Right to Voice, JHR UBC’s biannual human rights magazine, inspired by Speak, JHR’s annual national magazine, which was organized last year by JHR UBC. For a clearer idea of Speak and how we envision the JHR UBC magazine, please see last year’s issue on our website.
For this issue, to be launched in February 2010, we are focusing on human rights issues directly related to delivering the Olympic Games, whether here and now in Vancouver or in another time and place in
history. We are also seeking pieces to do with the role or impact of the media in such issues.
We are looking to address issues surrounding the subject using primarily originally reported literary journalism. Topics include anything relating to the point at which the Olympic Games (any Olympic Games, not necessarily Vancouver’s), human rights issues, and the media intersect, be they profiles of people and organizations involved in civil rights, investigations into rights violations at past Olympic Games, stories about Olympians or host cities themselves, case studies, success stories, or any number of topics we haven't yet thought of.
The stories we are seeking must be 400-600 words for short articles, usually suited to second-hand or mostly research-based reporting; and 1000–3500 words for features, which are the magazine’s showcase stories and to be based on original reporting.
Stories may be written by anyone—and here we caution it is difficult to report well on distant issues without having covered them in person.
We are also seeking ideas for visual pieces that will constitute our Front-of-Book section, such as graphs, maps, creative diagrams, conceptual images, etc.
As JHR is a bi-lingual organization, we will be accepting submissions in both English and French.
If you are interested in submitting a piece, please send us a pitch detailing your ideas and outlining the intended direction of your article. All final article drafts will be due in late January (with earlier drafts due, yes, earlier).
Please do not send fully written articles—PITCHES ONLY. Pitches must be approximately 300 words
for features, and 1-2 paragraphs for short articles, front-of-book pieces, or photo essays.
If you have a good idea but don’t know where to take it, let us know anyway, though full pitches will be prioritized.
All pitches are due by deadline Monday, December 7, 2009. Please send pitches to jhr.ubc.publications@gmail.com, with “JHR Magazine Pitch: Article Topic” as the subject.
Please contact us if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. For more information about our organization, please visit www.jhrubc.ca and www.jhr.ca.

International Funding Opportunities
The week of November 15 is International Education Week in over 85 countries worldwide. We wanted to take this opportunity to remind Ryerson community members of the international funding opportunities available to your students.
International Conference & Research Support Fund (ICRSF): This program provides up to $1500 in matching funds for students to attend an conference, undertake research or participate in academic competition beyond Canadian borders. This is an important method for raising Ryerson's profile internationally - what better ambassadors for our institution than our best and brightest students. A key requirement of the program is that students must share their experience with their program area peers upon their return - engendering, it is hoped, increased interest in international opportunities among students across the university.
See http://www.ryerson.ca/ri/students/ryerson/fundingopps/ICRSF.html for more information.
Ryerson International Summer Experience Fund (RISEF): This program provides a $2000 award to students who undertake an internship, placement or volunteer posting that links one of the eight United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Recipients of this award have spent a month or more in countries such as China, India, Cambodia, Guyana and Brazil undertaking a range of activities as broad as Ryerson's academic offerings. Journalism students have documented the condition of refugee camps; Early Childhood Education students have worked with disadvantaged children in orphanages; and Politics and Public Administration students have assisted local development agencies in cataloguing the needs of their constituents.
See http://www.ryerson.ca/ri/students/ryerson/fundingopps/RISEF.html for details.
In addition to the programs above, Ryerson International hopes to launch a new program targeting increased graduate student participation in collaborative research internationally - more information soon to come.
We are optimistic too that the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities will continue to support international education activity through their Ontario International Education Opportunity Scholarship (OIEOS) program, a program through which a total of 228 Ryerson students have received $2500 each - a total of $570,000.00.
Please see the program guidelines on the Ryerson International website www.ryerson.ca/ri for more details. If you have any further questions after viewing the guidelines, please contact the Ryerson International office.

National Geographic magazine - please check the requirements carefully
2010 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE PHOTOGRAPHY INTERNSHIPS
The National Geographic magazine will offer two photography internships during the summer or fall of 2010. The program is an opportunity for young photographers to experience first-hand the rigors of life in the professional world. It is also an opportunity for us at the Geographic to scrutinize the work of those in whom we may have further interest. We are proud that many of our regular “shooters” are former summer interns.
One internship is automatically offered to the winner of the College Photographer of the Year contest administered by the University of Missouri, Columbia. For information go to www.cpoy.org.
The other internship is awarded based on a portfolio. It is primarily for college students – undergraduate or graduate — but we will also consider someone not currently in school. The purpose of the internship is experience and encouragement to those who aspire to be a photojournalist. Interns must be at least 21 years of age and U.S. citizens, or have appropriate student work documents.
Both internships are for fourteen weeks at a salary of $480 a week. When on assignment away from the city, the Geographic pays all expenses. Transportation expenses to and from Washington at the start and conclusion of the internship are covered by the Society. The interns are responsible for their own housing.
To apply, send us a single package that includes a portfolio of recent work (no more than 30 images), a resume, and a letter of recommendation from a photography teacher or established photojournalist. We are interested in strong photojournalism, your ability to produce a visual narrative, and original story ideas. CDs or DVDs are the preferred method of submission but portfolios may also be in the form of slides, prints or clippings of any combination, in color and/or black and white. Digital images should be JPEGs, sized to approximately 1600 wide, 72 dpi.
We will accept portfolios in early January and all must be postmarked by January 30, 2010. Send to Susan Smith, Deputy Director of Photography, National Geographic Magazine, 1145 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036. Please clearly label your envelope, “NGM Photography Internship,” and if you would like for us to return your portfolio, you must include a self-addressed stamped envelope.
We will notify all applicants by email in early March 2010.

Toronto Star internship application deadlines:
November 20, 2009 for the Summer 2010 radio room and reporting programs.
July 9, 2010 for year-long internship. Program starts Sept. 13, 2010
The Toronto Star offers young journalists three internship programs. Interns work with full-time staff in a challenging but supportive environment. All Star internships are paid, contract positions.
We cannot accommodate volunteers, short-term placements or co-op students.
A driver’s licence is required for reporting and photography positions (Radio Room excepted).
One-year internship
The Toronto Star is offering a one-year internship program for young journalists.
The program runs from September to September and is open to graduates under the age of 30 who have never held a full-time, permanent staff position at a Canadian daily newspaper.
Successful reporting candidates work in the city department. Copy editing interns are assigned to a variety of editing desks during the year. The program begins with orientation and there are seminar days. A demonstrated commitment to journalism is required, through a combination of formal journalism training and experience, or extensive experience. We will consider candidates with non-traditional qualifications and credentials. The application deadline is July 9, 2010. The program starts Sept. 13, 2010.
There are six reporting interns, two copy editing interns and a design intern in the 2009 - 2010 program.
The Radio Room
The Radio Room requires strong reporting and phone interview skills and the ability to work quickly and accurately.
Radio room reporters monitor emergency scanners, do police checks, monitor radio and television news and report stories that are often crime or trauma related. In addition to writing for the newspaper, radio room reporters file breaking news stories and updates to the website. Successful candidates also work shifts answering phones and providing support to the newsroom.
The radio room environment is often hectic, so successful candidates must be calm, well-organized, able to juggle several tasks at once; able to persuade sometimes reluctant officials to talk and prepared to interview victims of crimes or accidents, and family members of people killed or hurt in accidents or crimes.
The Radio Room is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by journalism students working eight-hour shifts. Several students are hired in late summer to work part-time during the university year; a second group of students is hired to work through the summer months. The radio room has proven to be excellent preparation for summer reporting programs at the Star and other dailies. Strong news reporting experience at university or community papers is required; reporting experience at a daily is a strong asset. The application deadline is November 20, 2009 for the Summer 2010 program.
Summer Program
This is a demanding program because summer reporters and photographers are hired on vacation replacement contracts - meaning that as full-time staff disappear on vacations, summer interns are expected to step up to the demands of replacing them.
The 10-week contracts for reporters are all general assignment positions in the city department and successful applicants could be writing features, covering crimes, courts, inquests, breaking news or health and education stories, in other words, anything that’s happening.
The positions are open to college and university level journalism students, (or college and university level journalists) or students who graduate in the year of the summer program they are applying for. Previous experience at a daily newspaper is usually required.
The program begins with a week-long orientation and monthly seminars and volunteer mentors offer additional support. The application deadline is November 20, 2009 for the Summer 2010 program.
Application deadlines:
November 20, 2009 for the Summer 2010 radio room and reporting programs.
July 9, 2010 for year-long internship. Program starts Sept. 13, 2010
What we look for
Enthusiastic, talented, curious and intelligent journalists with a strong work ethic, a positive attitude and a passion for the profession, who will bring energy, ideas and new perspectives to the paper.

Net News Daily
My name is Scott Campbell, and I’m the 14 year old business editor of a news website named Net News Daily.
Net News Daily receives up to 20,000 unique visitors per day, and is syndicated to various international media outlets, including the Chicago Sun-Times and Herald-Tribune. We’re also working on a syndication deal with a group of 50 UK newspapers. To date, we’ve been featured on BBC News Online, The Guardian, The Press Association and a number of other media outlets.
At this time, we have around 10 internationally based writers, ranging from age 10 to late 40s. However, to keep our content fresh, we’re looking for new contributors to write short articles (100-150 words) and opinion pieces. I feel that this opportunity would be beneficial for both us and your students, and I would be delighted if you could extend the invitation to them.
Any interested students (or staff members) should email students@netnewsdaily.com to express their interest.
I look forward to your response.
Regards,
Scott Campbell,
Business Editor/CEO,
