Networking event: What's the future of local ethnic media?

Are you involved with a Calgary-based ethnic media outlet? If so, you're invited to a networking event March 15 to meet with your peers and with CBC Calgary. 

We'll work in small conversation circles to share your successes and lessons learned in order to make this sector stronger. You'll also get the chance to discuss community concerns with CBC Calgary journalists and newsroom leaders to support a rich cross-cultural conversation. 

Register in advance below so we can keep the conversation focused and effective. The location is in central Calgary. We'll send the details by email after you register.

Calgary has been welcoming newcomers from around the world as the city grows. Many of them seek out sources of information in their own language, and also rely on niche English or bilingual news outlets to get the news and connections they need.

That can be through radio, TV or newspapers, or on new platforms such as YouTube and Substack.

CBC Calgary recognizes the importance of this sector. If you're involved and you want to connect, we look forward to meeting you, better understanding your community, and creating a space where you can make connections to strengthen your work.

And please note, for this gathering we are specifically inviting Calgary-based ethnic media outlets. That's defined as an organization that publishes, produces or airs original content about Calgary/Canadian issues for a specific ethnocultural community on a regular basis (minimum four times a year). It can be large or small, but community journalism is the primary function of the organization.

If you have any questions, please email CBC producer Elise Stolte at [email protected].
