Journalists in Nova Scotia and across the country say there’s an increasing lack of communication and openness from government at all levels. It’s hard, sometimes impossible, to get an interview or even a call back from politicians or their communications staff. In Canada, there are recent examples of political leaders at the federal level freezing out reporters. In the U.S., President Donald Trump has favourite reporters and outlets and largely ignores, or even denigrates, journalists from what he calls “fake media” outlets.
It all makes it hard for journalists to do their job of informing the public. And that makes it hard for the public to be informed voters.
In Alumni Hall, on November 5, a panel discussion moderated by Assistant Professor Pauline Dakin explored how governments and journalists interact and how that’s evolving; the impact on public knowledge and discourse when information access is limited and why that matters; and what could improve the flow of information and the relationship between government and journalism, which is so critical for a healthy democracy.
Thanks to student Caroline Jones for shooting the video of the event.
