How the work was done


Here is what the new recipient had to say about receiving the Investintech - CAJ Scholarship:

I am honoured to receive this year’s Investintech - CAJ Journalism Scholarship. Scholarships like these are critical to encourage emerging journalists to lean into data rather than shy away from it. My professors have said journalism seeks to shine a light in dark places, and I believe an important part of this work is to reveal what is hiding behind the numbers and spreadsheets. I want to thank my professors at KPU and the editing staff at Canada’s National Observer, who gave me invaluable lessons on how to tackle data and find the story beneath.
