Retrospective: Single Moms, Lies and Videotape

It became clear early on at APTN that the majority of reporters it was hiring were single moms. Melissa Ridgen talks about balancing motherhood and journalism.

As well this episode dives into Ridgen's investigation into the scandal surrounding the Manitoba Association Of Native Firefighters' (MANFF's) apparent disregard for its duty to care for flood victims, not to mention taxpayer dollars. We talk about why it's important to investigate these stories, despite the fear that it may perpetuate a stereotype.
