J-Source, a joint venture by the journalism programs at Carleton University and Toronto Metropolitan University since 2013, is the go-to source for news about journalism in Canada. We publish stories about the people, institutions, research and best practices of journalism and journalism education from across the country. Initially launched in 2007 under the wing of the Canadian Journalism Foundation, J-Source has developed a dedicated following of journalists, journalism students, academics and communication professionals and offers an outlet for the work of journalism schools and students across the country.

Gifts to J-Source fund paid work by  contributors and support our operations, and ensure that we can continue to provide a platform to share the latest news, research and analysis about journalism and journalism education.

Donations also support operating costs for J-Source’s newest venture — the Canada Press Freedom Project. This is the only outlet tracking press freedom violations in Canada  including denials of access to reporters,  arrests, physical assaults and verbal harassment, as well as  online threats and statements that denigrate or endanger the work of journalists in the country. J-Source and the CPFP enhance Carleton’s reputation as a centre of excellence for journalism education and provide invaluable knowledge and teaching resources for the School.
