Description: Canada’s media companies are melting faster than the polar ice caps, and this book chronicles their decline in a biting, in-depth analysis. The author travels to an international journalism festival in Italy, visits the Guardian in London, and speaks to editors, reporters, entrepreneurs, investors, non-profit leaders, and news consumers from around the world to find out what’s gone wrong. Along the way The author discovers that corporate concentration and clumsy adaptations to the digital age have left Canadians with a gaping hole in our public square. And yet, from the smoking ruins of Canada’s news industry, The author sees glimmers of hope, and brings them to life with sharp prose and trenchant insights.
