Description
Guest: Amanda Watson, senior lecturer and sociologist at Simon Fraser University It’s been two weeks since journalist Lisa LaFlamme announced she’d been let go from her job as chief news anchor and senior editor at CTV National News. The decision came two years before LaFlamme’s contract was up and despite the fact she presided over one of Canada’s most watched newscasts. The network said a “business decision” and “changing viewer habits” inspired the action, but many aren’t buying it. We take a look at how LaFlamme’s dismissal has sparked a national conversation on sexism and age discrimination in the media and other workplaces. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Alexis Green and Paulo Marques Audio Sources: CTV News, Twitter
