Breakdown: Layoff Season, War on Bikes, Bounty on Journalist ft. Dave Gray-Donald

Introducing: The North State’s Breakdown! Scott takes on multiple stories about the news media industry with the help of a guest. Publisher and Editorial Director for Toronto's The Grind Dave Gray-Donald joins Scott to talk about three big stories. Layoffs at Rogers and TVO hit the industry in two different ways. Then, Doug Ford got his way on bike lane legislation… what is the news missing? Finally, La Presse reveals that a convicted killer placed a $100,000 bounty on one of their reporters who covered his murder trial. What does this say in context of the wider threat to journalists?
