This quote in the Reporting in Black Communities symposium report seems especially important today.

Thank you to everyone who signed up. We’re looking forward to coming together to network, learn and discuss how we can all improve journalistic coverage of Black communities in Canada.

We’re excited to share some of our findings from the Reporting in Black Communities project. Based on focus groups with 39 Black news consumers in four cities, our research note shows what Black people are still seeing in Canadian journalism. Read more: https://t.co/JsZZlb41W5

Whether you'll be using the guide or just want to see what we found, come share your thoughts on what the guide should prioritize & how it can best support the people who will actually be using it.

Keeping mid-career journalists with solid experience & some seniority is key to changing that.

That’s why 7 of the 10 fellows are mid-career. It’s a crucial part of the pipeline to stronger journalism leadership.

Our industry is better off the longer we stay in it.

[ShaddCaryCentre @ShaddCaryCentre]

We're glad to see the strong support, mentorship and fanfare offered to ‘young’, ‘new’ voices starting out in our industry. But how are they doing ten years in?

In newsrooms, the higher you go, the fewer Black journalists you find in leadership.

Watch our video on how the inaugural Mary Ann Shadd Cary Fellowship for Black Journalists came together –and why it matters.

This initiative was a historic first. We built it thinking of an often-overlooked part of our industry: mid-career journalists.

We had a good time in Chicago this summer! 🏙️
