Journalism innovation and media startups


This team is examining how the development of journalism is being shaped by innovation practices, business models and policy frameworks. 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.
