Canada and the U.S., Interrupted! Journalists on the Front Lines

A reliable relationship between Canada and the United States was once assumed but now is no more. As elected leaders on both sides of the border rush to address the break, journalists are countering social media mis- and disinformation with evidence-based stories and analysis to make sure audiences on both sides of the border understand what's really going on.

Join panellists David Walmsley, editor in chief of The Globe and Mail and president of the World Editors Forum; Matina Stevis-Gridneff, Canada bureau chief for The New York Times; Dr. Marci Shore, American historian and professor of European intellectual history at the Munk School of Global Affairs; and moderator Anne-Marie Fowler, PhD candidate in the Department for the Study of Religion and former Institutional Finance professional (USA).

This panel precedes the High Table celebrating Journalism and the 2026-2027 William Southam Journalism Fellows. Proceeds from this event will benefit the William Southam Journalism Program. We thank Lisa Balfour Bowen, Clair Balfour, Marci McDonald, Derek Fisher, and Adrienne Fisher for their generous support of the Fellowship.
