Show Notes

Community-centred journalism can sometimes seem at odds with traditional media practices. Sources rarely see an article before publication and even then newsrooms have complete control over a story. Engaged journalism flips this on its head, but there are a number of ethical factors newsrooms must first consider. 

In this episode, host Jessica Botelho-Urbanski, sits down with Toronto Metropolitan University professors April Lindgren and Nicole Blanchett to explore how news outlets can maintain editorial independence while fostering relationships with communities.

This series is a collaboration between the Community Podcast Initiative at Mount Royal University and J-Source.
