Journalism Innovation and Media Startups
This team is examining how innovation practices, business models and policy frameworks shape the development of journalism. Current research includes a study of journalism startups in Canada in the past 20 years and an analysis of Google’s impact on journalism innovation globally.
The project includes the development of a critical race podcast at The Conversation Canada, exploring the mechanisms through which a journalism non-profit can leverage online media to enhance the production, distribution and circulation of evidence-based reporting.
