About this episode

Alex and Holly Doan discuss the role of investigative journalism and the challenges faced by non-mainstream media in Canada.

Alex sits down with Holly Doan to discuss Accountability Journalism and the role that non-mainstream journalistic media has in the current Canadian political landscape. They discuss the decline of traditional newsrooms, subsidies for Canadian media companies and the lack of transparency that has led us to a climate where the press is struggling to keep up with the times.
