What the public doesn't know about journalism

Distrust of media, often rooted in misunderstanding of journalism’s purpose and how journalists do their jobs, is nothing new. For our first episode and in celebration of Media Literacy Week, we’re bringing back a conversation that deserves another listen. Veteran public editor Kathy English sat down with Sandra Martin of The Globe and Mail, former CBC ombudsman Jack Nagler, The Guardian’s Elisabeth Ribbans and the Toronto Star’s Donovan Vincent. They cut through the noise to talk about what people often get wrong about journalism — and why that actually matters.
