'It is the past. We know what we've done. We know that part of ourselves. Let's just carry on and fix it. And let's try to do better over time,' said Carmen Parahi

'A culturally safe newsroom has antidiscrimination practices. It's easier for you to see discrimination and deal with it quickly if you know about it. So you need to teach everyone and train everyone about what it looks like,' said Carmen Parahi

'Every country has marginalized communities. Build relationships with them. You will improve audiences and trust and create business and partnership opportunities. The beauty of a culturally safe newsroom is the innovation that can come.' -Carmen Parahi

'Cultural safety is critical awareness of role organization, culture, power dynamics and how it impacts others. And how your organization externally addresses discrimination. So a culturally unsafe newsroom is Eurocentric, monocultural,' said Carmen Parahi

On the multiple projects needed to create an equitable newsroom
'One thing we learned is multiple consistent actions over time. It's a long game. We're talking about changing hundreds of years of journalism practices,' said Carmen Parahi
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
'Everyone needs to understand their history and work to improve the representation of Indigenous marginalized communities. Every person from the receptionist to the CEO to the board member and the owner all need to do this,' said Carmen Parahi

On Eurocentric monoculturalism in non-Western newsrooms
'Non-Western newsrooms will apply Western European and American news standards to validate the news instead of using their own traditional communication practices,' said Carmen Parahi
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
'Very few people want to acknowledge colonialism, and very few people want to want to acknowledge that colonialism actually exists within newsrooms and organizations around the world,' said Carmen Parahi
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
'Eurocentrism is a tradition of news. If you don't know this history about yourself, why do you think there's a lack of trust that comes from Indigenous, minoritized and marginalized communities in your country towards the media?' asked Carmen Parahi
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
'When a Eurocentric lens is the only one applied to content, people, and the organization, discrimination is present. And when I talk about discrimination, I'm not just talking about racism, but sexism, homophobia, and all the different isms.'Carmen Parahi
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
'The eurocentric lens is the worldview dominating global media. The traditions of news worldwide, even in non-European and non-colonized countries, in new Western newsrooms, continue to use old Western principles to define our news.' -Carmen Parahi
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
'You seek truth, whose truth? You champion free speech, but from what perspective? Whose free speech? When Maori, Indigenous people or people from marginalized communities stand up, do you champion their free speech without fear or favour?' - Carmen Parahi
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
'We all know what we do. We hold the powerful to account, we seek truth, we champion free speech, without fear or favour. We're objective. Those are the high ideals. But in society, the media organizations and journalists are the powerful.' - Carmen Parahi
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
🤝On how media organisations should relate to Indigenous communities
'Indigenous and marginalized communities know what they need. It is up to the organizations to go and talk to them and find out what they need,' said Carmen Parahi
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
On the impact of mono-culturalism
'I have to say if mono-culturalism exists in your newsroom or your news organizations, I can guarantee so does discrimination. The word itself says there is no other room for other cultures,' said Carmen Parahi
