Good news for freelance radio producers: there’s another deadline coming up this month for the CBC Doc Project Mentorship Program.
You’ll need to get your pitches in by October 15th to be considered for this round of documentary production. The Doc Project is open to CBC employees and Canadian freelancers with demonstrated experience with audio. Past freelance mentorship program participants include CMG Freelance members Willow Yamauchi and Rebecca Hass.
To find out if you’re eligible for the program — and for details about the application process — you can check out the Doc Project page on the CBC website as well as this Story Board post.
Members of CMG Freelance also have access to an archived webinar with CBC producer Tanya Springer on how to pitch to The Doc Project. If you have your membership number, you can log in to the CMG Freelance website and go to this page for access to that webinar. If you’re a new member and have not yet received your membership number, please send an email to freelance@cmg.ca for assistance.
