Much of Canada's traditional (or "transitional") media is in turmoil.
Many of our brethren are glued to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage Committees' Media and Local Communities minutes, trying to divine what the future holds for journalism in this fine country.
Other sisters and brothers have been getting their hands dirty leaning the tools of tomorrow in Denver, CO at the Investigative Reporters & Editors computer-assisted reporting conference.
For the rest of us, there is the opportunity of distraction & consolation in friendship, and -- more importantly -- a well-stocked bar.
If you're in town, and not glued to your streaky laptop screen, please come out and join us for a relaxed, casual evening of conversation about the future of news, information, and that special thing that we call "journalism."
Let's wax poetic, share what we know, and attempt to put all of the puzzle pieces together into a sensible path forward.
Look forward to seeing you at the Rivoli (not Betty's!) at 7PM tomorrow (Tuesday).
Phillip, Amanda, Pippin, Leon & the whole Hacks/Hackers Toronto Team
