The Michener-Deacon Fellowship for Investigative Reporting is awarded to print journalist Valérie Borde, an award-winning science writer and frequent contributor to L’actualité. Borde will investigate the institutions responsible for food safety in Canada to see if they are effectively protecting the public from fraudulent food claims and products. “Fraude alimentaire: les Canadiens sont-ils bien protégés?” will examine Canada’s Food Inspection Agency, the food industry, the role of private certification and the impact on the safety of the food we eat.
