About me
Lela Savic is the founding editor-in-chief of La Converse, a francophone community-powered media serving marginalized communities through dialogue journalism. The misrepresentation of her people in the media, the Roma, pushed her to the world of journalism. She has worked at Journal Métro in Montreal, covering politics and human rights, CBC’s investigative show Enquête, La Presse, and regularly presents lectures on biases and positionality in the media in Canada, the U.S., and Europe. She currently teaches a course on decolonizing journalism at the University of Toronto along with Shenaz Kermalli, Desmond Cole, Dan David, and Shree Pandakar.
