Vancouver-based freelance journalist Melanie Green is no stranger to crossroads. Faced with the demise of print media just as she completed her studies in Communications, Media Culture and Analysis, Political Economy and Policy, at SFU, she dove headlong into a journalism program at Langara College, where she was awarded the 2017 Penny Wise Langara-Journalism BCYCNA Scholarship,. This led her to various media organizations including CBC Radio where she received the 2017 Read-Mercer Scholarship. After a turn at the ill-fated Star Metro Vancouver, Melanie landed at Pacific Content—Canada's top brand podcast agency—as a podcast host, producer, and audience development specialist.
Constantly curious. Melanie puts people first and finds new ways to tell compelling stories. Interested in culture, technology, politics, public policy and the point at which they intersect. Skilled in cultivating connections, storytelling, digging & research, creative problem solving and using multiple mediums.
I caught up with Melanie to talk all things media, the push to hire for diversity and inclusion, and the toll it takes carrying the weight of the expectations for entire cultures and identities.
