NCM is excited to announce the launch of our groundbreaking micro-credential in collaboration with Seneca College.
For more information, please write to George Abraham publisher@newcanadianmedia.ca
About the micro-credential: Some of the biggest issues in the news today draw journalists into complex questions about race, religion and ethnicity. To get the story, journalists may have to seek and draw out diverse perspectives, navigate stereotypes, establish trust and ask difficult questions about religious, cultural and historical traditions. This puts a special responsibility on journalists and media organizations. This microcredential helps to develop equity and inclusion-informed skills to incorporate into your reporting processes, leading to more inclusive journalism practices.

Thank you for joining us to congratulate our #NCMAwards2022 winners.
