TORONTO, April 14, 2014 /CNW/ - In an age when the words "tar" and "oil" applied to "sands" can delineate opposing sides; when "Keystone" elicits every emotion except indifference; when a proud province becomes a global petro power and citizens debate the legacy of Big Oil, how do journalists balance coverage of the oil patch in the face of a massive industry with powerful roots in their community? What is the view from afar?
The Canadian Journalism Foundation explores this question at its CJF J-Talk at the Calgary Petroleum Club on April 24.
Join speakers Clifford Krauss, Houston-based national energy correspondent for The New York Times formerly based in Ottawa, Claudia Cattaneo, western business columnist for the National Post, Gillian Steward, Calgary-based journalist and teacher at Mount Royal University, and Deborah Yedlin, business columnist for the Calgary Herald. Jameson Berkow, western bureau chief for BNN, moderates this discussion.
This is part of the CJF J-Talks series, exploring issues and challenges shaping journalism.
Thank you to CJF J-Talk exclusive series sponsor BMO Financial Group, lead sponsor Accenture, university partner Mount Royal University, and in-kind supporter CNW.
