Mental Health and Indigenous Journalists

Join us as we announce the winner of the 2nd Annual Award for Outstanding Work by an Indigenous Youth Reporter!

The award recognizes a First Nations, Métis, or Inuit journalist, or team of journalists, between the ages of 15 and 29 for a piece of outstanding journalism, published or broadcast in Canada in 2020.

The award ceremony will be preceded by a panel discussion on the history of Indigenous journalism in Canada, how it has evolved in recent years, and what the future may hold. Speakers include Tanya Talaga, Anishinaabe journalist and author; Karyn Pugliese, Algonquian-Italian journalism professor and broadcaster; Angela Sterritt, Gitxsan journalist, artist and writer; and Ryan McMahon, Anishinaabe writer, podcaster and comedian.

We are grateful to the RBC Foundation for its support of the award as part of its RBC Future Launch program.

The Future of Indigenous Journalism (2nd Annual Award)

Indigenous youth are leaders in their communities and have vibrant, powerful voices, but too often they are overlooked or framed only as victims. 

In this time of renewed attention on injustices perpetrated on Indigenous youth and children — past and present — join us to discuss how stories about and involving First Nations, Métis, and Inuit youth should be covered.

Anishinaabe storyteller and podcaster Ryan McMahon moderates a discussion on what the news media needs to do better with panelists Brandi Morin, Riley Yesno, and Kelsie Kilawna.
