Canadian Journalism Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canadian Journalism Project (CJP) is a project of the Canadian Journalism Foundation in collaboration with leading journalism schools and organizations across Canada. It seeks to make an impact on the quality of journalism in Canada through its websites, J-Source (English) and ProjetJ (French), which provide information, commentary and resources related to the achievement of, and challenges to, quality in journalism and journalism education.

[edit] J-Source and ProjetJ
J-Source is the English website of the Canadian Journalism Project, and ProjetJ is the French website. They are both community-based sites for journalists, journalism students, journalism educators and members of the public who are interested in journalism issues in Canada. Each site's content is maintained by an English Masthead and French Masthead, respectively (i.e. the French site is not a direct translation of the English site). The content of the sites is divided into categories, which are each edited and maintained by a member of the respective masthead.
[edit] Governance
The CJP is governed by three committees: an English Masthead, a French Masthead and a Management committee. Specific duties and responsibilities may be delegated to sub-committees as necessary.
[edit] English Masthead
The English Masthead has full responsibility for editorial content. Specifically, the Masthead's content responsibilities include:
- Providing editorial direction for the English website
- Ensuring the overall quality of content on the English website
- Developing guidelines and timelines for content submission by section editors and others
- Appointing (and, if necessary, removing) section editors
- Identifying and recruiting other qualified authors of content
- Assisting with promotional efforts
- Contributing organizational support, monetary or in-kind, where possible
- Ensuring that section editors are contributing material on a regular basis and, where this isn’t the case, removing a section editor and replacing them either temporarily or permanently.
