Staff Member and MMC Alumna Speaks out about the Lack of Diversity in Media in New Podcast

Digging Diversely, a podcast co-hosted by MMC alumna Katherine Wood and Jacqui King, discusses the lack of diversity and representation in media. This podcast focuses on the many voices and identities that are constantly being ignored in media. 

Proper representation is important, and the only way that will change is if people speak up and make it happen. The goal of this podcast is to make people aware so these changes can be made. Representation is important and the media is extremely influential. Sure, the media claims to be diverse, but are they really going about it the right way? More often than not, no. So many people are being misrepresented or ignored, and that needs to change.
