This summer at Lean Out, we've been doing a deep dive into the collapse of the Canadian media — and the role that new legislation, Bill C-18, has played in exacerbating the crisis. Tara's guest on the program today is someone who has thought a lot about the media and digital policy and public broadcasting, and she has a lot to say about where our media is at, and where we go from here. Sue Gardner is a digital policy analyst, and the former executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation. She's also the former head of cbc.ca.

Last week, Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez introduced Bill C-18 – the Online News Act – the second of three planned Internet regulation bills. There is much to unpack about the provisions in the bill including the enormous power granted to the CRTC, the extensive scope of the bill that could cover tweets or LinkedIn posts, the provision that encourages the Internet platforms to dictate how Canadian media organizations spend the money at issue, and the principle that news organizations should be compensated by some entities not only for the use of their work but even for links that refer traffic back to them. Sue Gardner is the Max Bell School of Public Policy McConnell Professor of Practice for 2021-2022. A journalist who went on to head CBC.ca and later the Wikimedia Foundation (Wikipedia), she is the only Canadian, and the first woman, to have run a global top-5 internet site. She joins the Law Bytes podcast for a conversation about journalism, the Internet platforms, and Bill C-18. The podcast can be downloaded here, accessed on YouTube, and is embedded below.

In a public talk she gave in 2018, journalist Sue Gardner argues that we’ve returned to the same set of ominous social conditions which led to the creation of public broadcasting in the first place — and that now is the time to recommit to public service journalism.
Julia Angwin, the former editor-in-chief of The Markup, talks with Recode's Kara Swisher in this live podcast recorded in Washington, DC.

Så bluffades att skolskytten i Florida tillhörde en vitmakt-rörelse. Fel siffror när TT skrev om minskade växthusutsläpp. Journalist avrättad i Slovakien. Två år som skakat Facebooks världsherravälde. Välkoordinerad bluff när medier lurades om skolskytt i USA För två veckor sedan mördade nittonårige Nicolas Cruz brutalt 17 personer på sin gamla skola i Parkland, sju mil norr om Miami i Södra USA. Inte många timmar efter morden kom nyheten att Nicolas Cruz var medlem i en vitmakt-rörelse i Florida. En uppgift som snabbt tog sig från USA till Sverige. Dagens Nyheter skrev med rubriken 19-årige Cruz var medlem i vit nationalistmilis och TT skrev om en extrem vit-maktgrupp. Men den här uppgiften var helt fel. Flera av de stora mediehusen i USA hade gått på en synnerligen välplanerad bluff, koordinerad och skickligt genomförd av anonyma användare på nätforumet 4-chan. Fallet visar på hur dagens nyhetstempo gjort det allt enklare att dupera världens medier och än en gång så tvivel över journalistikens trovärdighet. Reporter: Viktor Löfgren. Ett mycket för mycket gav fel utsläppssiffror Nyhetsredaktioner är helt beroende av pressmeddelanden. Rapporter som presenteras, företagsnyheter som släpps. Oftast kommer de i formen av ett pressmeddelande. Men vad händer när ett pressmeddelande är fel och rapportering blir inkorrekt? Vem bär ansvar för det? Källan som skrev pressmeddelandet, eller redaktionen som inte dubbelkollade uppgifterna? I veckan släppte Trafikverket en rapport om hur utsläppen från den svenska fordonsflottan minskar, men när medierna skrev om uppgifterna fick de siffran helt fel. Det här är en liten historia om hur ordet mycket användes en gång för för mycket och ledde till utsläppssiffror som var helt uppåt väggarna. Reporter: Erik Petersson. Slovakisk journalist mördad granskade korruption För en vecka sedan mördades den slovakiske journalisten Jan Kuciak tillsammans med sin fästmö i sitt hem. De blev båda bara 27 år gamla. Det här är det andra mordet på en journalist i EU på mindre än ett år och precis som när den maltesiska Daphne Caruana Galizia dödades i december 2017, finns det i det här fallet starka misstankar om att mordet är kopplat till Jan Kuciaks journalistik. Han jobbade bland annat med den uppmärksammade Panamaläckan och ska under den senaste tiden ha grävt i kopplingar mellan slovakiska politiker och den italienska maffian. Vi har pratat med hans kollegor. Reporter: Viktor Löfgren. Två hårda år för Facebook har gjort Zuckerberg blåslagen Facebook har fyllt 14. Som för de flesta har det inte varit helt friktionsfritt för sociala medier-jätten att ta klivet in i tonåren. I senaste numret av tidskriften Wired porträtteras Mark Zuckerberg på första sidan blåslagen och skrubbad. Det manipulerade fotot matchar budskapet i tidningens huvudartikel: Zuckerberg har aldrig tidigare fått så mycket stryk. Vi har träffat Sue Gardner som under sju år var VD för Wikipedias ägarstiftelse. Hon menar att internet har försatt demokratin i problem och att Facebook har en del i det. Reporter: Katarina Andersson
