One Year of October: The Press (The North State Podcast)

I'm proud to announce the release of the first episode of The North State, our news media criticism podcast.

Description:

It’s been one full year since Oct. 7 and the world will never be the same. In the first part of this three part series, Scott details how Western news media, and the Canadian news media specifically, has distorted coverage of Israel’s crimes in Gaza. Interviewing journalists Emma Paling and Samira Mohyeddin, The North State shows how their reporting and experiences reveal the deep anti-Palestinian bias at the heart of the news industry.
