About this episode
Trust in the legacy media is in continued decline, and doesn’t show any immediate signs of reversing. In a recent column, writer Peter Menzies pointed to the media’s mishandling of the residential school unmarked grave story over the past three years as a crucial example of this, but there are others. Can the media regain this lost trust, and should government be subsidizing newsrooms that Canadians aren’t interested in supporting? Menzies joins The Andrew Lawton Show to discuss.
Also, has wokeness in education gone too far? The Heterdox Academy at Wilfrid Laurier University is bringing in two education researchers later this month for a discussion about what the Ministry of Education is promoting in your kids’ schools. Prof. Geoff Horsman joins to weigh in on this and the broader state of academic freedom.
