Awards for The Walrus Contributors Support our Work in Journalistic Excellence


The Walrus congratulates journalists Allison Baker, Viviane Fairbank, and Sadiya Ansari on their new fellowships.
The Michener Awards Foundation recently announced that its Michener-L. Richard O’Hagan Fellowship has been awarded to Allison Baker and Viviane Fairbank. Both are alumni of the esteemed editorial fellowship program at The Walrus. Fairbank, a former associate editor and head of research at The Walrus, and Baker, one of the founding contributors to The Walrus Fact-Checking project—an independent initiative launched in 2018 to combat mis/disinformation online—are also regular contributors to The Walrus.
The Michener-L. Richard O’Hagan Fellowship for Journalism Education will support the creation of a book-length version of The Walrus Fact-Checking Guide, a tool originally created by Fairbank and The Walrus to train editorial fellows and freelance fact-checkers. This award will enable Fairbank and Baker to expand on the guide first developed under Fairbank’s leadership as head of research at The Walrus from 2017–2019, establishing guidelines and a common reporting and verification methodology for journalists, academics, and the public. The project also aims to create a free and accessible curriculum for fact-checking education. This project was chosen by Michener judges “because it had the broadest appeal and the biggest potential impact.” The fellowship is worth $40,000 plus $5,000 in travel expenses.
