To me, it was just trying to process the two different things I was seeing, and it was. So you know, the money that the CBC gets from government may have been an influence, but I think something else bigger happened here, because it happened almost collectively, globally, in quite a few countries and- and I don't know if it was fear driven, I don't know if someone decided that in order to cover a pandemic, you have to only use information from public health.
What happens when a seasoned journalist feels compelled to walk away from a career she loves? Marianne Klowak, who spent years at CBC in radio, television, and digital journalism, shares her compelling story with Trish Wood. In this episode, Klowak opens up about her resignation, triggered by the drastic changes in journalistic standards during the Covid-19 pandemic. She highlights the challenges of reporting stories she believed were crucial, only to face resistance and a lack of transparency.
Klowak's departure sheds light on a broader issue—the shifting landscape of journalism and its implications for society. Trish Wood and Marianne Klowak engage in a thought-provoking conversation about the role of fear, money, and public health in shaping news coverage. They discuss how these factors have influenced the integrity of journalism and contributed to what Klowak describes as a 'brain drain' in Canada.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the evolving nature of journalism and the forces driving these changes. It's an eye-opening discussion that urges listeners to question the narratives presented by mainstream media and consider the deeper truths behind the headlines.
