J-Talks Live kicks off season with Voices for Change: Media's Moment to Shine

J-Talks Live kicks off season with Voices for Change: Media's Moment to Shine

Canada NewsWire

TORONTO, Sept. 21, 2020 /CNW/ - Following the heightened awareness about anti-Black racism ignited by the police killing of George Floyd, the Canadian Journalism Foundation's (CJF) upcoming J-Talks Live will focus on the newsroom challenges faced by Black, Indigenous and other people of colour and the biases in media coverage. This virtual event takes place on Thursday, September 24 at 1 p.m. EDT.

The featured speakers are:

  • Nana aba Duncan, host of CBC Radio One's Podcast Playlist and Ontario's weekend morning show Fresh Air;
  • Karen K. Ho, a global finance and economics reporter for New York-based Quartz, a digital business news publication; and
  • Angela Sterritt, a journalist with CBC Vancouver and member of the Gitxsan Nation.

 "There are so many layers to the conversation with these three standout journalists—from their views on what must change in newsroom culture and how, to ensure it is lasting, to a discussion on the prism through which news is defined and assigned, and followed through," says Anna Maria Tremonti, host of the J-Talks Live webcast series and the CBC podcast More. "Our panelists are bringing their professional and personal experience to the table as they discuss how this moment in time can and must be the catalyst for permanent change."

Nana aba Duncan is currently studying the experiences of racialized and women leaders in Canadian media as a William Southam Journalism Fellow at the University of Toronto's Massey College. Karen K. Ho, a former Delacorte Fellow at the Columbia Journalism Review, has contributed to publications including The New York Times, The Globe and Mail, Toronto Life and Time. Angela Sterritt has won numerous awards for her CBC column, Reconcile This, and is also currently a visiting professor at UBC's School of Journalism.

This free virtual event is part of the CJF's J-Talks program, which explores pressing journalistic issues. 

The CJF thanks the generosity of J-Talks series sponsor BMO Financial Group and in-kind supporter Cision.

DATE: Thursday, September 24, 2020, 1 p.m. EDT
