Presenters at the media workshop include freelance journalist Geoff Dembicki and Shannon Daub, the Director of Communications for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. The conference’s special guest is the CBC’s Bob MacDonald.
The goal of the workshop is to “help equip journalists (and future journalists) with the knowledge and skills to challenge conventional economics frames and ask insightful questions.”
