Empowerment Journalism Guide | Empowerment Journalism Guide - Global Reporting Centre The Empowerment Journalism Guide was made for journalists, editors, filmmakers, and anyone interested in best practices for working with and within communities.

Adapt: Indigenous responses to the climate crisis Adapt: Indigenous responses to the climate crisis

@ubcjournalism.bsky.social – where the GRC is based – offers a 'Reporting in Indigenous Communities' course. It teaches students about local First Nations cultures and history, representations of Indigenous peoples in media, and strategies for in-depth coverage of Indigenous issues. bit.ly/3II7s2f

The 86th call says Canadian journalism programs should require all students to learn about the history of Indigenous peoples, including the history and legacy of residential schools, UNDRIP, Treaties and Indigenous rights, Indigenous law, and Indigenous-Crown relations.

Despite that, only 7 out of 10 newsrooms have Indigenous or visible minority people in the top three leadership positions, according to the 2024 CAJ Diversity Survey. Only 2.4% of Indigenous people reported being in supervisor roles. bit.ly/4mIuIeq

The 84th call to action urges the media to increase equitable access for Indigenous peoples to jobs, leadership positions, and professional development opportunities within CBC/Radio-Canada (though this could and should be extended to all media organizations).

It has been 10 years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its final reports on the history of residential schools in Canada and issued 94 Calls to Action. bit.ly/4pNiDaB

Advocates concerned about effects of sex assault acquittals on victims everywhere The acquittal of five former Hockey Canada players in a high-profile sexual assault trial could have a chilling effect on all assault victims: advocates.
