Who controls the press in Canada?
Fresh off Parliament Hill, Rebel News editor Sheila Gunn Reid joins Kris Sims to explain why government funding and press-gallery gatekeeping are threatening independent journalism
In today’s episode of The Fighter, Kris Sims sits down with Rebel News editor and Independent Press Gallery president Sheila Gunn Reid following her appearance before the heritage committee on Parliament Hill.
Sheila shares what really happened behind closed doors at committee and why her testimony struck a nerve with the establishment media.
Kris and Sheila discuss growing concerns over government funding for media organizations, and how access to key political figures is increasingly being shaped by official press accreditation rules.
They also dig into the consequences of restricting access, and how it could reshape political coverage in Canada ahead of the next election.
