Why the Media Needs Objectivity

One of the themes of the Lean Out podcast is a crisis in confidence in the mainstream media. In a few weeks, my new book on this topic will be released in the United States and Canada. The Trust Spiral: Why the Media Needs Objectivity unpacks where we in the press have gone wrong — and what we need to do to regain the public’s trust. Cardus in Ottawa hosted me for an event on June 9, where I was joined onstage by a fellow Canadian journalist. I am happy to share a portion of our discussion today. Stuart Thomson is a Canadian journalist and the Parliamentary bureau chief for The National Post. Stuart Thomson and I are in conversation, today on Lean Out. Transcript to come for paid subscribers. Lean Out with Tara Henley is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. This is a public episode.
