The News of the World scandal does not boil down to a simple case of phone hacking. It highlights the excessive power that one media group can wield over society, the police and the political powers that be. It also illustrates the extent to which a journalist's moral fiber can be degraded by such a situation. Is Quebec sheltered from experiencing similar blunders?
Marc-François Bernier, Associate Professor and Researcher at the University of Ottawa's Department of Communication, and Guy Gendron, Journalist at Radio-Canada, will participate in the discussion, which will be moderated by Marc Raboy, Beaverbrook Chair in Ethics, Media and Communications at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University. The session is co-sponsored by Media@ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ and will take place at the 2011 Annual Congress of the Fédération professionnelle des journalistes du Québec (FPJQ), at the Fairmont Château Frontenac in Quebec City.
