OTTAWA – Storytelling is central to Indigenous cultures, and one particular type of storytelling has a vital role to play in Canada’s long journey toward reconciliation.
“The modus operandi of journalism is truth, and it’s called ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ for a reason,” says Carleton University journalism professor Duncan McCue, the director of a transformative new program that will prepare Indigenous youth for careers in media.
“You can’t have reconciliation without dealing with some of the hard truths about this country. To change the narrative to a more truthful one, Indigenous voices need to be heard, and there’s a growing appetite among Indigenous folks to learn these skills.”
