Responsible journalism in the age of hyper-polarization
October 30, 2018
Faculty Club, 缅北强奸
For many observers, the American media鈥檚 commitment to 鈥渂alance鈥� contributed to President Trump鈥檚 victory by normalizing his views and behaviour and fueling the public鈥檚 belief that 鈥渂oth sides are corrupt鈥�. This problem is only amplified when it comes to reporting on far-right nationalist groups, where the mere act of covering them can arguably provide them with undeserved legitimacy.
The Max Bell School of Public Policy welcomed Phil Gohier, Mark Lloyd, and Jennifer Ditchburn for a conversation moderated by Andrew Potter, which explored听the demands and responses of responsible journalism in dealing with these challenges.

April 10, 2018
W Marriott Essex House, New York
From domestic taxation to global security, the Trump administration has consistently highlighted that national interests will be paramount in U.S. policy decisions. But what does this really mean for our day-to-day lives? And what does it mean for our neighbors in the global community? What price will we pay for our protectionist tariffs? Will the inflow of immigrants be slowed and environmental protection gutted? Will our long-standing military alliances be weakened? Will this new U.S. doctrine make America and the world safer and more prosperous or鈥� something else?
On April, 10, 2018, the Max Bell School brought together an expert panel in New York, to answer these questions. The panelists included听Chris Ragan, Director of the Max Bell School of Public Policy; Dominic Barton, Global Managing Partner of McKinsey & Co, the Max Bell School's Advisory Board Co-Chairman; Laura Dawson, Director of the Canada Institute in Washington D.C.; & Marc-Andr茅 Blanchard, Permanent Representative of Canada to the United Nations.
