If you have been listening to this podcast for any amount of time, you likely know a few things about me: 1) I am obsessed with journalism. 2) I deeply believe that unpacking our identities matters in regards to how we read and write the world 3) that I see digital literacy as an essential skill in today\u2019s world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So it makes sense that I have been following Anita Li\u2019s work for some time now. Anita is the publisher, founder, CEO, and editor in chief of The Green Line Toronto: a hyper local independent news outlet. I first encountered her when I had my students watch her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nhrZHRqUaT0\">TedX talk on the power of digital journalism<\/a>\u2013and not only did my Grade 8 class at the time deeply appreciate her message on digital composing, but they kept coming back to her ideas related to why representation matters in newsrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this interview we cover a lot of ground: we get into the ever-evolving nature of journalism, how growing up in Scarborough prepared her for a career of curiosity and connection, as well as some of the ways that the shift towards digital composing may have transformed writing for the better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you don\u2019t teach journalism explicitly to your students, this is an important conversation about identity, digital composing, and the role of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">place<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in our writing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Things Mentioned in This Episode:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/caj.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/caj_whatisjournalism_dec_2021.pdf\">What Is Journalism<\/a> (from the Canadian Association of Journalists)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.niemanlab.org\/2021\/05\/the-binders-isnt-a-secret-anymore-where-does-the-giant-facebook-group-go-from-here\/\">Binders Full of Journalists<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/theotherwave.com\/\">Sign Up for Anita\u2019s Newsletter (The Other Wave)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/jhr.ca\/bipoc-youth-in-journalism-project\">BIPOC Journalists Youth Internship<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can the microcosm of the classroom prepare us for the world at large?
