NEW: How Indigenous women and girls became targets for Canadian genocide @mediaINDIGENA Episode 164 radiopublic.com/media-indigena…
@mediaINDIGENA listening now. early in the episode @theRickHarp @feralplaywright & @BrockStarPhD discuss journo ethics & responsibility to audience v. getting the scoop. luckily our @mediaINDIGENA roundtabler @candiscallison's forthcoming book with co-author @marylynnyoung addresses this issue.
@mediaINDIGENA @theRickHarp @feralplaywright @BrockStarPhD @candiscallison @marylynnyoung LOL @feralplaywright discussing white deniers of "genocide" including journos who try to be "factanista warriors" who nitpick at unprovable assertions such as unverified claim (by RCMP boss) that 70% of Indigenous women murdered by Indigenous men.
@mediaINDIGENA @theRickHarp @feralplaywright @BrockStarPhD @candiscallison @marylynnyoung . @BrockStarPhD describes the colonial structural machine that across many seemingly disconnected areas works to eliminate Indigenous people in literal physical terms & culturally AS Peoples (full genocide definition). they connect strategies as did @apihtawikosisan yesterday.
@mediaINDIGENA @theRickHarp @feralplaywright @BrockStarPhD @candiscallison @marylynnyoung @apihtawikosisan and @theRickHarp brings it home: "certain hardcore journalists..err on the side of all information is inert..facts are facts. it's somebody else's job to worry about the context." Indigenous journalists: "the context is hyper-colonial..genocidal..there is no inert information."
