Join Bakau Consulting, an equity, inclusion, and anti-racism consulting firm based in Vancouver, for an online media workshop. As 70% of the mediascape in Canada is controlled by four companies, this webinar will tackle the question: “How does this shape what we see about the world?” Bakau Consulting will discuss approaching both traditional news and social media using an intersectional lens centred in anti-racism.
