When:
The media landscape in
Canada has changed significantly in recent years. The shuttering of local news
outlets, the meteoric rise of social media apps and online streaming and the
corresponding proliferation of artificial intelligence, misinformation and disinformation
have all amounted to seismic changes in Canada's media landscape and the
industry that is the news media.
Join an all-queer
panel of experienced journalists moderated by exeQutive member Andrew Perez (Principal at Perez Strategies and a freelance writer and political commentator) to hear their candid perspectives on the
factors that have led to this new reality, what it all means for the future of
the news industry, how it's impacting how we consume news, and its
implications for Canadian democracy. Panelists will also discuss their
experiences working in the trenches as openly-queer journalists, including a
conversation on how perceptions of 2SLGBTQ+ reporters have evolved over the
decades.
