- Description
Journalism for the Public Good celebrates the history of the Michener Awards, honouring Canadian journalism’s greatest moments since 1971. The book features investigative reporting that has led to positive change, spoken for the voiceless, and held power accountable. Kierans examines how journalism has changed over 50 years, responding to disinformation and the rise of digital media. The book argues for the importance of fact-based journalism in a democratic society and its impact on public policy. This resource aligns with critical thinking, ethical citizenship, and media literacy within the curriculum, particularly in social studies and English language arts. Educators can use excerpts to talk about the role of journalism in democracy, have students evaluate sources and detect bias, read case studies from the book to understand the impact of investigative reporting on social change and public policy, create their own investigative pieces, or debate journalism dilemmas.
