The North State 2025 Q&A
In December, The North State will have a Q&A featuring questions from you! Eric Wickham, Ontario reporter for PressProgress and podcast producer extraordinaire will join to pose the questions to me. I won't see any of them! If you have a question you want to hear answered, submit them below before December 12th. Or click the link here.
Description
If you're a news nerd, a media freak, or some sort of schadenfreude savant, you're probably aware of the spectacular implosion of CANADALAND and its equally infamous leader, Jesse Brown. This week the network drops the first two episodes of a podcast examining antisemitism in Canada. To be blunt: hopes are not high. Nothing has been convincing that they should be, either. So why do we like talking about it? For this week's monologue, I dive into my latest critique, why I hope to focus less on CANADALAND in the future, and what news media critique means in a landscape without the indie giant.
