Carleton, FNTI, Kenjgewin Teg partner to offer Indigenous journalism certificate

Carleton University, the First Nations Technical Institute, and Kenjgewin Teg are collaborating to launch a one-year Journalism in Indigenous Communities Certificate program in Fall 2025. Led by Indigenous teachers, the program will teach students fundamental reporting skills, such as writing for the media, audio and visual storytelling, and entrepreneurial journalism–all from an Indigenous worldview. While the bulk of the curriculum is online, the program will involve three-week-long in-person sessions hosted at each of the institutions throughout the course year as well as a two-week placement. The program will be offered through Carleton’s School of Journalism and Communication.
