Media Advisory Only a week left to register for CJF J-Talk in Calgary: Covering the Oil Patch
TORONTO, April 17, 2014 /CNW/ - Only a week remains to reserve seats for The Canadian Journalism Foundation's J-Talk Covering the Oil Patch at the Calgary Petroleum Club on April 24.
In an age when the words "tar" and "oil" applied to "sands" can delineate opposing sides; when "Keystone" elicits every emotion except indifference; when a proud province becomes a global petro power and citizens debate the legacy of Big Oil, how do journalists balance coverage of the oil patch in the face of a massive industry with powerful roots in their community? What is the view from afar?
Join our speakers:
- Clifford Krauss, Houston-based national energy correspondent for The New York Times formerly based in Ottawa
- Claudia Cattaneo, western business columnist for the National Post
- Gillian Steward, Calgary-based journalist and teacher at Mount Royal University
- Deborah Yedlin, business columnist for the Calgary Herald
- Jameson Berkow, western bureau chief for BNN (moderator)
This is part of the CJF J-Talks series, exploring issues and challenges shaping journalism.
Thank you to CJF J-Talk exclusive series sponsor BMO Financial Group, lead sponsor Accenture, university partner Mount Royal University, and in-kind supporter CNW.
