About Médiasdiversité
Founded in 2005 by Astral Media and TVA, Médiasdiversité (previously known as Télédiversité until 2009) is a forum committed to reflecting and representing cultural diversity in Québec private media. Médiasdiversité is intended as much for media industry decision-makers as for Aboriginals, members of visible minorities, and persons with disabilities who are interested in media.
