It’s Time to Take Our Journalism Back*

The Lecture will address Anna Maria Tremonti’s journalism career as well as journalism in the era of ‘fake news’ and the wariness of the so-called mainstream media.

The program marked her return to radio after nineteen years with CBC Television, including two years as host of The Fifth Estate. She was a foreign correspondent for The National for nine years and has been awarded a number of awards, including two Geminis and a lifetime achievement award from Women in Film & Television Toronto.
