TORONTO, April 17, 2017 /CNW/ - Limited tickets are available for What To Be or Not To Be: The Public Broadcaster's Dilemma, an event presented by The Canadian Journalism Foundation (CJF) in Toronto on April 20th.
From reimagining the future of flagship news shows to how voice recognition will impact the future of news delivery, Simon Houpt, senior media writer with The Globe and Mail, will moderate this discussion on the challenges faced by British, Canadian and American public broadcasters. The discussion features James Harding, director of news and current affairs for the BBC, Jennifer McGuire, general manager and editor-in-chief of CBC News and Michael Oreskes, senior vice-president of news and editorial director for NPR.
