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. This includes navigating “biased algorithms, racist conspiracy theories, election interference, and performative online allyship.” The event is open to all and tickets can be purchased online by donation.
