Consider the nuance that country and culture play on how we digest the news in all of its many forms. Join us for an evening of conversation with three panellists who started their journalism careers in Botswana, Lebanon, and Kazakhstan and now work in Canada.
What's similar? What's different? And what should responsible news consumers anywhere in the world consider about those who try to find out what's going on and then tell us about it? Ntibinyane Alvin Ntibinyane, Hiba Kamal-Choufi and Makhabbat Aitekenova will share their stories with Karen Unland of Taproot Edmonton; then you'll have a chance to interact with the guests and each other in a modern version of the coffeehouse, one of the birthplaces of journalism as we know it today.
