    (Détours) Solutions climatiques, solutions journalistiques

    Alors que l’année 2024 sera la plus chaude jamais enregistrée, on voit le public, épuisé par l'éco anxiété et une certaine fatigue informationnelle, se détourner des médias. Emilie Nicolas reçoit Étienne Leblanc, journaliste environnement et climat à Radio-Canada, pour échanger sur l’évolution de la couverture médiatique des changements climatiques depuis une vingtaine d’années et sur les solutions possibles afin de mieux communiquer sur le sujet.

    Even if 2024 is projected to be the warmest year ever recorded, audiences are tuning out the news, exhausted by eco-anxiety and media fatigue. Emilie Nicolas talks with Étienne Leblanc, environment and climate reporter at the CBC, about the past twenty years of climate change coverage and how to find solutions to better communicate on the topic.

    Générique : Lucie Laumonier (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), André Proulx (Coordonnateur à la production), Karyn Pugliese (Rédactrice en chef)

    As the hit Netflix documentary What Jennifer Did draws criticism for manipulating source materials, we talk to Karen K. Ho about the differences between True Crime and journalism. 
    Umar Zameer is acquitted of murdering a Toronto police officer, but the way his case was handled by the media and politicians raises questions about the impact of public narratives in high-profile legal cases.

    Thunder Bay Police Chaos

    Thunder Bay Police Chaos

    On April 12, 2024, news broke that Sylvie Hauth, the former police chief of Thunder Bay, was arrested and charged with a series of criminal offenses. 
    But none of the news reports explained much about just what the hell was happening this time.
    Most of this story is still unknown, but this week, Karyn Pugliese, Ryan McMahon, and Jon Thompson will tell you what they can, what they have verified so far, and they will give you their best sense — let's call it a theory — of what the big-picture story is here.

    Host: Jesse Brown

    Slash and Burn: How Cheap Debt Killed the News

    Slash and Burn: How Cheap Debt Killed the News

    We’ve long heard about how the news business is failing - layoff after layoff, media execs have claimed that they have had no choice but to make cutbacks.
    In Bell’s latest round of 4800 layoffs, CEO Mirko Babic defended his decision to a parliamentary committee, claiming the company was struggling in a tough economic environment - and that news was part of what was bringing them down.
    But is that the full story? 
    Because before Google and Facebook ate up advertising dollars, the Canadian media companies of the 90s made a bad bet. And it failed to pay off. 
    And now… the news industry is taking the fall.

Excellent

Very interesting choice for the Jennifer Pan episode. Can’t say I think that one was ethical. Also interesting to hear the guest flex about how they’re too busy to consume true crime content before going on about all of the true crime docs they’ve watched and why they’re an expert on this content and can somehow forgive her murder because of China’s one child policy?
