Happy almost reading week (for those who celebrate)!

If you are in the Toronto area on February 25, in partnership with Paolo Granata at UofT, I am pleased to invite you to a free public talk at the TMU School of Journalism by Pia Ranada<https://www.rappler.com/author/pia-ranada/>, head of community for Rappler<https://www.rappler.com/> who is the Embassy of Canada in the Philippines 2024 Marshall McLuhan Fellow.

For her presentation in Canada, Pia will discuss “Rebuilding trust:  How the community can leverage impact from solutions-oriented journalism in the Philippines” thinking about the journalist’s expanding role that goes beyond reporting to include proposing impactful solutions to social challenges. Her presentation explores how journalism can be more than truth-telling, leading to advocacy for collaborative action.

School of Journalism, Toronto Metropolitan University
80 Gould Street, Rogers Communication Centre (RCC 103)
FREE registration required<http://ranada.eventbrite.ca/>. This event is open to the TMU community and the public.
Apologies, there is not a current plan for a live stream of this event.
