When the 215 potential graves were uncovered at a former residential school in Kamloops, journalists parachuted in from around the world. But as the only Indigenous news outlet in Secwepemcúl’ecw, IndigiNews chose to stay silent and follow protocol. As similar stories unfold around the country, our staff will discuss the complexities around covering these stories and participants will learn about how Indigenous outlets can lead the way and make a difference when it comes to trauma-informed reporting, changing the narrative and when to stand back.
