    #305 Researchers Just Proved The Media Is Too White
    Canada's newsrooms are whiter than ever.

    Canada’s media organizations are reluctant to release their diversity stats. But Asmaa Malik and Sonya Fatah from Ryerson’s School of Journalism found a way to compile 21 years’ worth of diversity statistics by looking at Canada’s columnists. They join to discuss their research.  

    CORRECTION: The show notes originally misspelled Asmaa Malik’s last name. We regret the error.
