For our 11th episode of Working Vacation, we are joined by special guest Marcus Medford Kerr, a freelance journalist based in Toronto who currently works for the CBC as an Editorial Assistant.

We go on to to discuss:

- His earliest inspirations as someone interested in writing and multimedia from an early age

- The challenges and triumphs he faced during his come-up at UTSC/Centennial along side one of our podcast co-hosts

- The realities behind sensationalism, social media and cultural insensitivity as a result of a lack of representation 

- The pressures a black person can come across in the field of journalism and importance of reporting vs analysis

- Truth vs Honesty and how closely that dichotomy mirrors Fact vs Opinion

- The changing of the old guard in the journalism industry and the opportunities that exist for young journalists of colour 

- Grab a seat, eat some popcorn and enjoy!
