Broadcaster Spotlights

Innoversity Creative Summit Broadcaster Spotlights offer a sneak-peak at what can be accomplished when broadcasters utilize the innovative and creative storytelling approaches brought from diverse perspectives. Each spotlighted organization has initiatives in place that seek out ideas, enable development, fund production, provide mentorship and showcase diverse talent.

CBC Spotlight: Fresh Voice

Fresh Voice is a joint project between Newsworld, the national radio program Sounds Like Canada and the national TV news program, Canada Now. Beginning with a significant national outreach campaign, Fresh Voice asks dozens of colleges and universities to encourage their best students to create a one-page outline of a story they would like to produce with the help of the CBC. The budding journalists behind the most promising and diverse submissions are paired with producers from across the country. With the aid of this CBC expertise, the students produce short features. Some of these will appear on television, others on radio, while a few appear in both mediums.

Omni Television Spotlight: Metropia

Metropia...young...cutting edge...urban…diverse. Meet the minds behind the series that blew apart the conventional drama series formula. Hear the challenges of writing relevant, interesting story lines that are reflective of culture yet not stereotypical. This interactive session will take you on a journey of lessons learned in reflecting today's global city.
