Scholarship details
Kari Howard cherished writing tales that gave the impression to the audience that they had just made a new acquaintance. Writers who had the good fortune to work with her as an editor found themselves faced with the difficulty of incorporating the music of everyday life and the passion of remarkable love into the narratives that shed light on the most pressing issues of the day. It is an honour for Kari’s family and friends, as well as the International Women’s Media Foundation, to be able to award grants in her memory to encourage narrative journalism, which she was a strong advocate for.
