This conference can be seen as part of on-going efforts to re-imagine journalism in Canada.

We think something important is at stake: the health of Canadian democracy. We believe the more ways we can find for more Canadians to be involved in public discourses and questions of governance, the better off we will all be. We believe journalism can and should play an important role.
