Talking storytelling paths, diversity in journalism spaces and more with K(ae)itlyn
<p>Hey Talking Stories Crew! In this 2022 episode, I catch up with New Canadian Media (NCM) reporter and former journalism classmate, K(ae)itlyn. K(ea)itlyn and I chat about:</p> <ul> <li>Their reflections on the Canadian news landscape and their work with NCM</li> <li>K(ae)itlyn's storytelling journey and how Narnia fanfiction played a role</li> <li>Creating more spaces for BIPOC and non-binary journalism students</li> <li>Their research on police violence and the care involved</li> <li>The work that motivates them</li> </ul> <p>NOTE FROM OUR GUEST: "I addressed Lyra Evans with "they/them" pronouns which is still misgendering. This is a habit I'm still deconstructing. I believe that transphobia stems from where all discrimination is founded upon -- anti-Black racism -- and the general use of "they/them" has been to introduce anti-racist, anti-transphobic rhetoric into my daily vocabulary. Regardless, Lyra Evans' pronouns are "she/her" and should be respected as such."</p> <p>FURTHER READING:</p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://newcanadianmedia.ca/author/kaitlyn-smith/">K(ae)itlyn's work for New Canadian Media</a></li> <li>K(ae)itlyn's recent piece, "<a href= "https://newcanadianmedia.ca/new-research-challenges-torontos-city-council-claims-to-success-in-diversity/">New research challenges Toronto’s claims to success in diversity</a>", referred to in the podcast</li> </ul> <p>CONNECT:</p> <ul> <li>Follow K(ae)itlyn on Twitter at @MokundSmith</li> <li>Follow Raquel A.
