Sulzberger\, Chairman and Publisher\, The New York Times and Emily Bell\, Founding Director\, the Tow Center for Digital Journalism. \nPanel: Don’t Believe Your Eyes: AI\, Misinformation\, and the Search for Truth \nDoes truth stand a chance? While traditional news organizations continue to seek it out\, bad actors are using generative AI to flood digital channels with misinformation at a speed and scale never seen before. This panel will draw upon recent and real-world examples of misinformation campaigns\, the erosion of public trust in mainstream media\, and possible steps news organizations can take to fight for the truth and to rebuild the public’s trust. \nModerator: Katerina Eva Matsa\, Director\, News and Information Research\, Pew Research Center \nPanelists: Brian Stelter\, Special Correspondent\, Vanity Fair; Aimee Rinehart\, Senior Product Manager AI Strategy\, The Associated Press; Joseph T. Yun\, Ph.D.\, AI and Innovation Architect\, The University of Pittsburgh \nPanel: Reinventing Political Reporting when Everything Seems Broken \nHow should reporters cover politics when polarization is deepening and public trust in the media is at an all-time low? While the relationship between reporters and the press has always had its share of antagonism\, many expect hostilities during the 2024 Presidential campaign to be higher than ever; many even fear political violence. This panel will explore the difficult conversations and changes that news organizations can make to the way they cover politics to deliver on their mandate and restore the public’s trust. \nModerator: Ali Velshi\, Host\, “Velshi”; Chief Correspondent\, MSNBC \nPanelists: Katie Simpson\, Senior Foreign Correspondent for the CBC in Washington; Susanne Craig\, Investigative Reporter\, The New York Times. \nPanel: Can we build back better? \nThe flight of the advertising dollars that have sustained news for so long has the traditional business model in tatters. Local papers have folded\, newsrooms have shrunk\, and budgets are a fraction of what they were. Legislative attempts to force social media platforms to compensate media for lost revenue have met with mixed results. This chat will discuss the business realities of this new operating environment and explore alternate models that could allow media companies to return to economic sustainability while delivering on their important mandate. \nModerator: Evan Solomon\, Publisher GZERO Media \nPanelists: Gina Chua\, Executive Editor\, Semafor; Nicholas Johnston\, Publisher\, Axios; S.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Canadian government passed Bill C-18\, the Online News Act\, on June 22\, 2023. This bill “aims to enhance fairness in the economic relationship between news businesses and online platforms by enhancing the bargaining position of news businesses relative to that of large and dominant digital news intermediaries.”  The legislation\, which comes into effect in December 2023\, will require tech giants Meta and Google to make agreements with news publishers to compensate them for revenue-generating news content that appears on their sites. In response\, both tech companies have removed links from Canadian news sites from their platforms.

As a result\, Canada’s governing body for its national sport – Hockey Canada – is facing an ongoing crisis and official scrutiny regarding its response to allegations going back to 1989\, largely exposed by rigorous investigative journalism. \nThe Canadian Journalism Foundation’s (CJF) J-Talk series on October 4 explored the media’s role in bringing these scandals to light. The event took place in person at the Toronto Reference Library’s Bram & Bluma Appel Salon at 789 Yonge Street. \nOver the past two years\, CTV News and TSN’s award-winning journalist Rick Westhead broke several stories that undermined Canadians’ trust in hockey leaders and national organizations. In May\, Westhead revealed that Hockey Canada settled a multi-million dollar sexual assault suit by a woman against eight organized Canadian Hockey League players\, including members of Canada’s gold medal-winning 2017-18 World Junior team. Since then\, he uncovered more gang sexual assault allegations\, this time against the 2002-03 World Junior team\, which are now being investigated by the Halifax police. \nThese investigations came nearly one year after Westhead first introduced Kyle Beach as the John Doe former Chicago Blackhawks minor league player who accused the NHL team’s video coach of sexual assault during the team’s 2010 championship run. \nOur CJF J-Talk featured Westhead\, TSN Vice-President and Executive Producer Ken Volden and The Athletic’s Katie Strang\, who led her website’s reporting on these issues. They discussed their investigations in conversation with CTV National News journalist Judy Trinh. \n  \nWATCH THE SHOW\nLISTEN TO THE SHOW\nVIEW EVENT PHOTOS\nOctober 4 | Doors open at 6 p.m. | Discussion 6:30 p.m.\nThe Bram & Bluma Appel Salon\, Toronto Reference Library\n789 Yonge Street\, Toronto\n \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1664816055566{border-radius: 1px !important;}”] \nEVENT PROGRAM\nDOWNLOAD PDF \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492008828909{margin-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_column] ABOUT THE SPEAKERS [vc_column_text]Katie Strang is a senior investigative and enterprise writer for The Athletic where she specializes in covering the intersection of sports and social issues\, with a particular focus on sexual abuse and gendered violence.
