May 3, 2026 - Journalism in a Time of Crisis

When: Sunday May 3rd, 6:30pm
Where: Innis Town Hall, 2 Sussex Ave
Fundraiser: $0 - $50

Discussion with the editorial director of The Grind and special guests about how journalists can better cover social movement struggles

Today we face political crises and also a media crisis. Awful mainstream media coverage of Israel's genocide in Gaza and of the Palestine solidarity movement in Canada further clarified this. But this is not new. Legacy outlets like the Globe & Mail and Postmedia (National Post, Toronto Sun, etc) were built to uphold the status quo, including supporting the West's imperialist interests abroad. Sometimes, it can feel like this media consensus is inescapable.
