At our 2026 conference, Kaitlin Littlechild and Lisa Frenette spoke about how editors can assess intent, support authentic Indigenous representation, and respond thoughtfully to harmful practices in editorial contexts. This session, presented on behalf of the Indigenous Editors Association, explored the difference between misinformation and disinformation, contrasting good-faith attempts at respectful cultural representation with bad-faith practices such as relying on racist stereotypes, sensationalizing Indigenous trauma, and extractive storytelling. We hosted some of the most important conversations around editorial ethics in the Canadian communication industry at our 2026 conference, Editing in the Age of Misinformation. All conference sessions were recorded and are available to purchase for streaming through September 30, 2026.
