The second day of the @RISEConCA has begun and we are starting with a conversation about crime reporting in Canadian newsrooms and what needs to change with @DesmondCole and @mdimera. #RISEconference2023 #RISE2023 #CABJ

“We don’t have a good practice in Canada of holding the police to account,” says @DesmondCole. Cole talks about how critiquing the police is a major but often overlooked part of crime reporting. #RISEconference2023 #RISE2023 #CABJ

“Corporate media doesn’t want to have an antagonistic relationship with the police that is needed to hold them accountable,” says @DesmondCole during the conversation about crime reporting in Canadian newsrooms. #RISEconference2023 #RISE2023 #CABJ

Meanwhile in another workshop, a conversation about Sinophobia in Canada’s mainstream media is ongoing with @joannachiu, @WriterWong and @_jackiewong. #RISEconference2023 #RISE2023

“We don’t need allies, we need good journalists,” says @WriterWong. Jan Wong stresses the need to have good journalists in newsrooms to avoid perpetuating anti-Asian hate while covering stories about the Chinese government. #RISEconference2023 #RISE2023

Collette Watson stresses that for newsrooms to do the right thing, they should highlight communities that are not being served. "News shouldn't be about the mainstream, but about multiple streams," says @_collettewatson #riseconference2023 #RISE2023 #CABJ
