TORONTO, Sept. 22, 2014 /CNW/ - The summer of 2014 was an eventful one for the Canadian media. Amidst a relentless news cycle, media companies across the country were implementing layoffs, budget cuts and shutting down news outlets and introducing new strategies putting digital and social media first. Today's tumultuous media landscape is a navigational challenge for both journalists and public relations professionals alike.
On Oct. 7, CNW Group will host its award-winning Breakfast with the Media event in Calgary. At the event, a panel of Canada's top journalists will provide insight into the state of Canadian media in 2014, leaving attendees with a better understanding of how to work with journalists in the current news environment.
