Reconciliation

Indigenous Peoples and the Media

What does a decolonized media landscape look like? This is an essential question we explore in Indigenous Peoples and Media (JOUR 2704 / INDG 2704). In this required course for second-year students in the Bachelor of Journalism (Honours) program, students will gain a deeper understanding of Indigenous perspectives, Canadian history, key issues in reporting and impacts of colonialism and will look critically at the role of media in shaping the narrative of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
