CIMA x BDRB present: "Next Steps" Equity | Diversity | Inclusion

MEDIA: Print & Digital Journalists, TV & Broadcast & Radio

The 9th in the BDRB x CIMA “Next Steps” Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Workshop series, we explore the equity (and the creation of) in the media sector - from within the spaces that create it, and externally where it is ingested - and how this impacts the music industry in Canada.

We will explore the environments where media is created, delving into representation and decision making power, hiring, access and systems, procedure & policy change and practical solutions for decision makers wishing to create change. 

We will discuss how media institutions can impact change, unpacking how the media influences our views on racism and shapes our views of People of Colour in society, the pervasiveness of racism and bias in the media, and how these impact us in the music and creative industries.

Finally, we will discuss the relationship between media and the music industry and how change to media systems can drive the music industry to more equitable outcomes for music industry professionals, artists and companies and how YOU, the independent music industry can make change with respect to media in your spaces.

If you purchase media, advertisers, interact with publicists, or utilize media, this workshop is for you. It is also for music professionals working in the music space and creative industries: print & digital journalists, tv, broadcast and radio who interact with Black, Indigenous and People of Colour media professionals or service rationalized groups in media creation.

WORKSHOP AUDIENCE:
