CARinCanada is a place where Canadian journalists, and those around the world, can find information about CAR north of the 49th parallel. The site is maintained by Fred Vallance-Jones, an assistant professor at the University of King’s College in Halifax. Fred was one of the first journalists in Canada to adopt CAR, after attending a NICAR bootcamp in 1995.  He has won many national and regional awards for his work. As head of the CAR Network of the Canadian Association of Journalists, he was instrumental in creating the CAJ’s annual CAR award ten years ago, now one of the most competitive in the annual CAJ Award competition. Fred is a regular trainer at CAJ and other conferences, and co-author along with David McKie of CBC of Computer Assisted Reporting: A Comprehensive Primer, published by Oxford University Press in October 2008. Along with colleague Dean Jobb and two others, he is co-author of Digging Deeper, A Canadian Reporter’s Research Guide, published by Oxford in 2006. He also writes a regular column on CAR for Media magazine and is contributing editor for CAR for J-Source.caContact Fred at Fvjones@dal.ca.
