News of the World: is a similar scandal possible in Quebec?

November 26, 2011

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-Fran莽ois 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 平特五不中. The session is co-sponsored by Media@平特五不中 and will take place at the 2011 Annual Congress of the F茅d茅ration professionnelle des journalistes du Qu茅bec (FPJQ), at the Fairmont Ch芒teau Frontenac in Quebec City.
