Fighting for our vision, together
By Adrian Harewood
“But what we know from history is that “transforming the discourse” while significant is not sufficient. We want CBC/Radio Canada and other mainstream media to look and feel and sound and be different in material ways in the weeks and months to come. We don’t want to “overcome some day”, we want to overcome now. We cannot afford to wait.”
Proud Indigenous media workers, CMG members – Mary Powder and Melissa Ridgen
“I’m partial to in-depth ‘follow the money’ investigative pieces. The rise and fall of Tribal Councils Investment Group might be a favorite story that I’ve worked on. Private jets, pricy Vegas getaways-type scandal that only APTN covered extensively.” – Melissa Ridgen
