Finding A Way Forward: The Changing Ways Canadians Get Their News
Jan 26, 2017 How are Canadians getting their news, and whom do they trust to provide it? How do perceptions differ between social media and mainstream news organizations? Does the government have a role in aiding struggling news outlets? The Canadian Journalism Foundation (CJF), in partnership with the Public Policy Forum (PPF), explores Canadians’ attitudes towards the media in a public opinion poll, conducted by Earnscliffe Strategy Group for PPF’s study on News, Democracy, Policy and Truth.To explore what the results mean for the future of news in Canada, Christopher Waddell, associate professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at Carleton University and a member of the CJF Board, will be in conversation with Edward Greenspon, president and CEO of the Public Policy Forum; Allan Gregg, principal with Earnscliffe Strategy Group; and April Lindgren, associate professor at Ryerson University School of Journalism and principal investigator for the Local News Research Project. Audience members will have the opportunity to participate in a town hall format.
Digital or Bust? The Future of Magazines

In Canada, Toronto Life celebrates 50 years, The Walrus looks to build on its foundation funding model and Rogers Media is moving towards online-only editions. South of the border, the president of the venerable thinking person's monthly, the 166-year-old Harper’s Magazine, remains firmly committed to the virtues of words on paper. Is this all cause for celebration or despair? Join special guest John R. (Rick) MacArthur, president and publisher of Harper’s Magazine; Sarah Fulford, editor-in-chief of Toronto Life; Jonathan Kay, editor-in-chief of The Walrus, Steve Maich, senior vice-president of digital content and publishing for Rogers Media; and moderator Laas Turnbull, chief audience officer for ZoomerMedia, for this conversation on the challenges facing magazines.
From the Margins to the Mainstream: What's Next for Digital Disruptors
Nov 15, 2016 Established online in the last decade, they were media's "new kids on the block"—digital disruptors that carved their own niches within the traditional media landscape and were hailed as either saviours or saboteurs: BuzzFeed, with its listicles and viral content; VICE, with its rebel millennial voice and muckraking videos; and Twitter, a platform for citizen journalism, live reporting and feedback, along with free, sharable content. Now with a strong foothold in the Canadian media industry, what are the challenges and obstacles these digital disruptors face?Join Michael Gruzuk, director of news and digital content for VICE Canada; Jennifer Hollett, head of news and government for Twitter Canada; Craig Silverman, editor of BuzzFeed Canada; and moderator Simon Houpt, senior media writer with The Globe and Mail.
Beyond Missing and Murdered Women: Covering Indigenous Communities
Nov 3, 2016 - 6:40 PM EST It's 2016: Has coverage of Indigenous issues shifted from niche media to the mainstream? In addition to several news organizations’ award-winning reportage on missing and murdered indigenous women, ground-level changes—such as the creation of dedicated beats, units, internships and university courses—are intended to bring greater awareness to the history and challenges faced by the Indigenous community. Does this signal progress and hope for sustained coverage for a community traditionally underserved by the media? Join Lenny Carpenter, program manager of the Indigenous Reporters Program for Journalists for Human Rights; Karyn Pugliese, executive director of News and Current Affairs for APTN; Tanya Talaga, reporter with the Toronto Star; Connie Walker, investigative reporter for CBC News; and moderator Duncan McCue, host of Cross Country Checkup (CBC Radio One), for a conversation on the state of the media on Indigenous affairs in Canada's new era of truth and reconciliation.

#CAJ16 Following the money in Indian Country
Jun 13, 2016 Regrettably, with few exceptions, Canadian media don’t dig into questions of public spending by First Nations with the same enthusiasm as they would with the closest municipality, school board, health authority, province, etc.Why not? Money can be followed on and off reserve if you’re willing to put in the time and effort.In this watchdog workshop, investigative reporters Melissa Ridgen and Jorge Barrera show you how they uncovered and exposed corruption surrounding First Nations communities, from the first hunch to the last legal vet.They’ll examine three stories as case studies walking reporters through the steps.
#CAJ16 Striking out on your own
May 28, 2016 Looking forward as a journalist, you’re yearning for independence.You’re looking to life the life of a freelancer! Things look pretty awesome over there.Oh, but wait– what about those all-rights-grabbing contracts? Those piddly pennies paid by publishers who plead poor? Chasing down the client whose work you finished six months ago and still hasn’t paid you, while pitching the next client you hope pays you sooner than six months from now?Fear not– success can be found in freelancing without relying on the need for others to help pay the rent!Our panelists will share how they’ve built successful careers as independent journalists and how, with the right amount of preparation and care, the grass on their side of the fence really can be that green.
#CAJ16 Tech geeks meet journalism: How data helps storytelling

#CAJ16 From carryables to wearables to implantables
May 28, 2016 Over the past 20 years, global cultures have embraced the idea of mobile communication by adopting smartphone technology.This swift transformation has made the concept of wearable computers and, ultimately, the idea of implantable future devices all the more believable. Simultaneously, popular culture, including film (Minority Report), television (Star Trek), gaming (Deus Ex), comic books (Iron Man) and literature (William Gibson novels) socialize society to embrace ideas that previously seemed impossible.Isabel Pedersen’s book, Ready to Wear: A Rhetoric of Wearable Computers and Reality-Shifting Media, argues that our technological futures are framed according to this “continuum of embodiment.”Drawing on case studies surrounding Google Glass, digital tattoos, exoskeletons, bionic contacts, and emergent concepts surrounding implantables, this talk invites the audience to consider wearables now but also in the future. It discusses how fictional scenarios, social media, circulating news stories in mainstream media, and digital culture all impact the adoption of technology by society.
#CAJ16 Communicating responsibly
May 28, 2016 Thanks to Grant v. Torstar Corp. and Quan v. Cusson, responsible communication was brought into Canadian jurisprudence.It’s become case law that reinforced journalistic best practices when dealing with subjects facing potentially libelous allegations — so that the publication or broadcast of material in the public interest is not held up by that same subject’s refusal to address the allegations.Kathy Tomlinson has first-hand experience with this defence against prosecution for libel, based on work she completed when part of the CBC Go Public team. Together with potential guests, she’ll lead a discussion based on her experiences that will give any journalist the information needed to use responsible communication to support their work.
#CAJ16 #MMIW: You don’t know what it’s like

#CAJ16 I’m a journalist—no, really.
May 27, 2016 It’s a conversation that’s always simmering away among journalists and those who study media.It used to be easier to tell who was a journalist and who wasn’t, often based on a strong link between the individuals who created journalism and the outlets that had the means to publish and/or broadcast it.Today, anyone with an Internet connection can publish and broadcast to their heart’s content. There’s enough content out there to satisfy any interest.Who you work for or who publishes or broadcasts your work isn’t as defining as it used to be, particularly when some outlets chase clicks and conversions over investing in public interest journalism.How do we tell the journalists and their journalism from everything else that’s out there? Is it by defining and declaring some of them as members of a profession, like doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc.? Is it in the development and teaching of better critical media literacy skills?In their discussion, our panelists will touch on the latest research and thinking into the question of the professionalization of journalism.
#CAJ16 Keynote: Shadi Rahimi

#CAJ16 Naming Sexual Assault Complainants in the Media: What to think about
May 27, 2016 The Jian Ghomeshi trial triggered fierce debate about sexual assault complainants and the role of media; two of the complainants had shared their stories in the media before criminal charges were laid. One of the women initially opted for anonymity, the other, Lucy De Coutere, insisted on public identification.And so will future complainants.Publicly revealing their identity requires both the journalist and the complainant to walk a careful line. On one hand, it is important to ensure a complainant understands all that can flow from deciding to be interviewed and identified-they no longer control their story, the social media response can be toxic and, even years later, a search engine will almost certainly connect their name with that story. If the case proceeds to trial, statements to the media can be used by the defence against the complainant during cross-examination. And complainants must understand that while the journalist may believe their story, they still have a professional obligation to try and verify it.These issues will be discussed from a variety of perspectives: media law and ethics, and as well as the experiences of sexual assault complainants dealing with the media. This workshop will offer discussion and guidance on best practices.
#CAJ16: All we want to do is make a living
May 27, 2016 People drawn to journalism live it and love it for the lifestyle and the rewards of keeping their communities informed, engaged and affecting change.It’s not really about the money, right? But it is — investigative journalism takes time and time is money. Having a journalist as watchdog on every council, board, commission and public agency is near-impossible to do for free.As layoffs at major media of every stripe and platform seen unending, will we reach the age where no one in Canada is willing to pay for journalists to do the work that fulfills our critical roles in a participatory, democratic society?Looking beyond Canadian media owners, the sources of revenue that can be tapped to allow for the sustainable, independent journalism to continue and grow are few. We don’t have foundations in Canada providing no-strings-attached funds. Are we limited to the online crowdfunder?Our panelist(s) will speak about how they worked to find the money to fund the journalism they wanted to do, on both sides of the border.
#CAJ16: What the heck is happening to journalism?
May 27, 2016 This year has been (another?) dire year for media in Canada.Alongside the continual trickle of layoffs, downsizings and closures, the Canadian media landscape was hit by a succession of gut-punching announcements to kick off the new year.In January, TorStar Corp. announced the closure of its Vaughan, Ont., printing plant and the layoff of Star Touch contract journalists from its newsroom.The week after, Postmedia Network pulled the rug out from journalists working in Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver as what were two competing newsrooms were shotgun-married into a single newsroom — a decision that carried 90 layoffs and buyouts. Neither decision alone comes to meet the pending need to pay down debt.The week after that, Rogers Media announced that 200 positions would be eliminated from its print and broadcast operations, touching magazines, television and radio operations across Canada. This matched an almost-identical decision by Bell Media in 2015.In the space of a January week, daily newspapers ceased publishing in Nanaimo, B.C., and Guelph, Ont.Our panelists, moderated by CAJ president Nick Taylor-Vaisey, will start from the depressing state of the industry and move into a discussion on what could be done to allow journalists to keep doing what they want to do: Keep Canadians informed about the things they need to know happening in their country, province and local community.
Journalist Interrupted: Towards a blueprint for a new free press
May 26, 2016 If mainstream media outlets wither and die, what happens to journalism? What is lost? What might be gained? What journalistic enterprises are already moving to fill the gap, and what can we expect to arise in the future? What needs to happen to make sure the good that journalism does continues to exist outside of the institutions where it has resided? These and other questions will be addressed in a panel moderated by Brian Gorman, assistant professor of communication studies at MacEwan University and author of Crash to Paywall: Canadian Newspapers and the Great Disruption. Panelists: Jorge Barrera, journalist for APTN; Linda Solomon Wood, CEO of Observer Media Group and editor-in-chief of The National Observer; Kelly Toughill, director of the School of Journalism at University of King’s College in Halifax; Karen Unland, entrepreneurial journalist and founder of Seen and Heard in Edmonton

CJF J-Talk: John Stackhouse and Craig Silverman
Nov 12, 2015 John Stackhouse’s three-decade career with The Globe and Mail—including five years as editor-in-chief—spanned a period of massive digital disruption to traditional journalism. In his latest book Mass Disruption: Thirty Years on the Front Lines of a Media Revolution, Stackhouse recalls how the Globe and other news outlets experimented with different delivery models as the Internet, social media and digital upstarts fragmented audiences and ad dollars. At the same time, the goal of mainstream news organizations to provide authoritative coverage of news events was challenged by new, agile competitors. Among them: BuzzFeed, which aims to create viral content by covering news with unabashed humour—its listicles and videos key drivers of stories via social media. Earlier this year, BuzzFeed established a Canadian presence with Craig Silverman—best known for a career built on media accuracy—as its founding editor. In a conversation covering current challenges to the media and lessons learned, Stackhouse and Silverman discuss the future of journalism from their distinct perspectives.

CJF J-Talk: Mohamed Fahmy in conversation with Michelle Shephard
Nov 2, 2015 An award-winning Egyptian-Canadian journalist and author, Mohamed Fahmy was the Egypt bureau chief of Al Jazeera International when he was arrested in 2013. The Egyptian government charged Fahmy with conspiring with the Muslim Brotherhood and fabricating news to serve the fundamentalist group’s agenda. He was incarcerated in a maximum security jail for more than 400 days —including a month in solitary—alongside ISIS and other terrorists. Fahmy’s unjust imprisonment unleashed an international outcry for his release from human rights groups and press freedom organizations to the United Nations, the European Union and President Barack Obama. Last month, Fahmy was pardoned by the Egyptian government and he regained his freedom. Fahmy, who intends to live in Vancouver, has spent most of his career covering conflict zones, reporting for the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, Dubai TV and CNN. In addition, he spent two years working for the International Red Cross. Fahmy will be in conversation with Michelle Shephard, national security reporter for the Toronto Star.

Nick Davies in Conversation with Gillian Findlay
Oct 2, 2015 An award-winning journalist who investigates journalists, Nick Davies is the British reporter who exposed the phone-hacking scandal in Rupert Murdoch’s newspaper empire. Davies uncovered the unethical relationships between reporters and private investigators as they targeted the phones of the British royal family, politicians, celebrities such as Hugh Grant and Angelina Jolie, and most disturbingly, the phone of a missing teenager, later found dead. Davies’s six years of dogged reporting resulted in the demise of the News of the World and sparked Britain’s Leveson Inquiry into the culture, practice and ethics of the press. Davies’s subsequent book, Hack Attack, provides a primer on the power of investigative reporting and the dangers of unethical journalism. A freelancer, he writes regularly as a special correspondent for The Guardian and has been honoured with numerous awards, including the 2011 Journalist of the Year by the Foreign Press Association in London. Davies also played a key role in the Guardian’s publication of secret U.S. military and diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks.

Jim shares with us what he learned during that ordeal.

Each weekday, more than 180,000 tablets open the daily edition of La Presse+, while La Presse continues to print 100,000 copies and lapresse.ca still attracts more than 250,000 unique visitors per day.

Yann Pineau, deputy editor in chief, explains the stages of this adventure and what it has meant to La Presse and its newsroom.
