John H. McDonald Journalism Foundation

John H. McDonald Journalism Foundation

The John H. McDonald Journalism Foundation is a Canadian charitable foundation associated with Canadian University Press. The foundation aims to serve all student journalists in Canada with educational programs and opportunities, regardless of whether they work for a CUP member paper or not.

The foundation has received donations from newspaper publishing companies and individual journalists, and has helped to fund national conferences and the creation of style guides and writing guides. It has also created opportunities for writing positions across the country, and held an annual awards ceremony celebrating student journalism. The foundation also hopes to establish mentorship and internship programs in the future.

The foundation was established February 19, 1987 and named after CUP’s first president, John H. McDonald, an editor of The McGill Daily, who won the position in a coin toss.
