Press freedom is a cornerstone of democracy, but it comes with a vital responsibility. Journalists must work to stop the spread of misinformation and disinformation. Stay vigilant, double-check the facts, and support journalism that values truth over sensationalism. Happy World Press Freedom Day! ChildSafeNet 🌍 #PressFreedom #FactCheck #childsafenet

For more than 20 years, I’ve been helping Ontario journalists find sources and cover municipal stories. In that time I’ve also been criss-crossing the province to deliver many hundreds of media and social media training sessions. In recent years, I’ve have had to start by asking, “What local media remains?” While the answers vary tremendously, we know that: ➡️ Ontario is no longer covered by media. Only parts of it are. ➡️ There are huge gaps between ‘news islands’. ➡️ The number of news islands continues to shrink. We are down to about twelve. ➡️ This has tremendous implications for our democracy, and in particular, the strength of democracy in the hundreds of municipalities that are not covered. Democracy depends on a well-informed public being able to discuss and debate policies using commonly known facts. ➡️ Municipal governments tend to miss having informed reporters who ask challenging questions. Governments don’t mind being challenged. They are used to being yelled at. Responding to wild conspiracies, rumours, and fantasy is MUCH harder, far more time consuming, and kind of soul destroying. At the OSUM Conference we will look at what the decline of media means, and what can be done to support the media that’s left (and rising from the ashes of traditional media). Personally, I will giving my thoughts on how municipal governments can adapt to this ongoing change, and what they can do to maintain a well-informed electorate.
