Mainstream media stuggles to survive. As each financially-troubled news outlet closes, we lose another trustworthy source of information to help us make decisions that affect our lives. For a look at this development and its consequences, join retired CBC broadcaster John Hanlon.
John hosted information programs on CBC Radio and TV in Edmonton and Calgary from 1976 to 1996. After leaving the CBC, John joined Japan’s public broadcaster, NHK. There he worked in a variety of capacities on its English-language satellite TV service until his retirement in 2015. Though retired, John maintains a strong interest in the challenges faced by today’s media.
