Holly Doan - What Is The Role Of Investigative Journalism In A Free Society?
Episode 350
Wednesday, 29 April, 2026

Alex sits down with Holly Doan to discuss Accountability Journalism and the role that non-mainstream journalistic media has in the current Canadian political landscape. They discuss the decline of traditional newsrooms, subsidies for Canadian media companies and the lack of transparency that has led us to a climate where the press is struggling to keep up with the times.
