Frontline Queer Perspectives on the Changing Media Landscape and Industry

When: 

Wednesday, September 18, 2024 - 6:00pm - 8:00pm

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.
