How Science Journalists Worldwide Are Fighting White House Health Misinformation

"Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump warned pregnant women to stop taking Tylenol – a brand name for paracetamol – or risk giving their children autism. ... Vaccines have been a common target, with Trump falsely correlating vaccines with autism and RFK Jr challenging the safety of both the COVID-19 vaccine and the DTP vaccine. With so many attacks on health and science, what are specialised reporters and editors doing to counter this barrage of disinformation from the most powerful man on Earth? Do these messages have an impact around the world? And what are the challenges posed to the journalists covering these beats? To answer these questions and more, I spoke with five editors of science and health publications in the United States, South Africa, Kenya and Peru."

R. James Travers Foreign Corresponding Fellowship

"The Fellowship was created to help finance a significant foreign reporting project by a Canadian journalist — staffer, freelancer or student — working in any medium. This international reporting bursary reflects the importance that Travers attached to his six years reporting from Africa and the Middle East. He believed Canadians deserve first-hand, in-depth coverage of important stories outside our borders. He argued passionately that it is crucial for Canadian reporters to bear witness — because in our interconnected world, foreign news is local news. The Fellowship provides an annual award of up to $25,000 to cover travel, research and reporting expenses and a stipend for a journalist." Deadline: Jan. 12, 2026.

Barcelona International Photography Festival on Human Rights and Global Justice

"The Barcelona International Photography Festival on Human Rights and Global Justice aims to offer a perspective on global problems and their root causes, using photography as an educational tool for global justice. Photography is the only way to show reality as it is, without flaws or lies, capable of contributing to a better understanding of the world and of forming a critical and committed citizenry that strives to advance toward greater levels of social justice, environmental sustainability, and the exercise of all rights within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To this end, every year during the months of December and early January, large-format photography takes over the streets of Barcelona. It does so with thirteen large-format exhibitions spread across all the districts of the Catalan capital. Ten of them are selected from the competition held a few months beforehand [2025 Deadline: Oct. 10], where we seek photographic projects on human rights and global justice, prioritizing themes related to environmental justice, gender justice, social justice, and economic justice. The other three are exhibitions outside of competition."
