In the wake of the 2024 U.S. election and with a federal election in Canada on the horizon, leading journalists and experts explore the urgent challenges facing news organizations today. From navigating unprecedented political polarization to adapting to an era of media fragmentation, our panel of experts will grapple with the pressing issues shaping the future of journalism and its implications for our democracies. Join us for a candid discussion about how legacy media is adapting and covering elections when traditional outlets are losing influence to podcasts and social platforms, trust in journalism is eroding, and antagonism toward the press is growing. Our panel will examine lessons from the U.S. campaigns, strategies for engaging younger voters through emerging platforms, and what these shifts in the media landscape mean for Canadian political reporting in 2025.
