Is the Canadian media in a state of financial crisis? Stories on newspaper closures and journalist layoffs have become frustratingly commonplace in recent years, leading to increasingly vocal calls for policy reforms or public funding measures.

He joins the podcast this week to discuss the historical development of the Canadian media and what the data tells us about the current situation in Canada.
