Budding journalists from Kahnawà:ke share stories from their community
These stories are a collaboration between Concordia University's journalism department, Kahnawake Survival School and CBC Montreal.
For the second year in a row, CBC Montreal is proud to support a partnership between Concordia University's journalism department and Kahnawake Survival School (KSS).
The initiative aims to inspire Indigenous students to consider a career in media.
The collaboration comes out of the university department's Institute for Inclusive, Investigative and Innovative Journalism, which is headed by Concordia's journalist-in-residence and former CBC Montreal radio news anchor Kristy Snell.
Journalism students at the university mentored graduates from KSS as they developed story ideas, interviewed subjects and produced videos about people in their community.
CBC Montreal gave their finished stories a home on and on the television newscast.
