Voices Online: Petitioning for Real World Change

The anti-Black racism movement was in the media spotlight in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd. While media coverage helped spark global conversations about systemic racism, journalism graduate and reporter Breanna Xavier-Carter noticed that not all reporting was fair and unbiased. She started an online petition calling on Ryerson University to educate its students on how they can report on racial issues through an unbiased lens. Now, she speaks with our host, Mohit Rajhans, about the power and limitations of online activism, how media coverage needs to change, and the implications of being a journalist online.
