Spacing’s Shawn Micallef appointed Canadian Journalism Fellow at Massey College

Down the street from our national issue launch on June 7th our Senior Editor Shawn Micallef was at the Canadian Journalism Foundation gala at the Royal York where he was appointed a Canadian Journalism Fellow at the University of Toronto’s Massey College. Each academic year Massey welcomes 4-6 Fellows into the College to study their various fields while taking a sabbatical from everyday work. Shawn will be researching urbanism (of course) while at Massey.

In the photo above, Master of Massey, John Fraser, introduces this year’s other fellows. From the left: Lee Pitts of the CBC, Mexican investigative reporter Luis Horacio Najera, Shawn Micallef, the Toronto Star’s Robert Cribb, and Elizabeth Bowie of the CBC. Not pictured is Ghanaian radio journalist Ato Dadzie. Starting in September you’ll likely see reports from and about Massey-related events appearing here on the blog.
