Let’s be honest. For most of modern storytelling history, white men held the pen and the power. Because they did, the stories we devoured in fiction and journalism came from that perspective. The Internet & social media – for all their problems – has also opened the flood gates to new voices in storytelling. It’s never been easier to find the full rainbow of lenses on story. But, are the established media ecosystem players doing enough to shift to a new normal? On this episode of the Middle, the business of diversity in storytelling. Host Sophie Nadeau is joined by Uzma Jalaluddin, columnist and author of ‘Ayesha at Last,’ and Andree Lau, the Editor-in-Chief of HuffPost Canada.

"In any movement, you're always going to have a pushback, because people who are entrenched in their power and in their privilege are obviously not going to be happy when they’re told to share." - Uzma
