Abstract
Mango Media Collective is a collection of interviews from South Asian journalists that I’ve spoken to in the last two years. Each person is reflective of a changing and more inclusive industry. But their responses also prove that there is much more work to be done in regards to equity and inclusion. Culture doesn’t interfere — it bolsters, it elevates, and it can even humanize stories that are waiting to be told. More importantly, it makes telling certain stories that need to be told a possibility. But don’t take my word for it. I’ve interviewd 18 South Asians in the journalism industry about their experiences and advice they have for emerging journalists. The following are those interviews with South Asian media professionals. Read their stories, be inspired, and be active in the change we all desperately need to see.
