BIPOC-led journalism w/Matthew DiMera

Support The Maple by subscribing to our daily newsletter for as little as $7 per month.

This week, we spoke to Matthew DiMera, founder and publisher of The Resolve, a new journalistic project that is building a platform for Black, Indigenous and people of colour journalists to tell their own stories directly to BIPOC audiences — not filtered through a white lens.

We discuss systemic racism in Canadian newsrooms — including those that purport to uphold anti-racist principles — and the challenges faced by independent media outlets.
