What happens when “America's finest news source” takes on one of the internet’s most notorious disinformation hubs?
In our upcoming CJF J-Talk, Ben Collins, The Onion CEO and former NBC News investigative reporter who spent years tracking online conspiracy networks joins Elamin Abdelmahmoud, host of CBC’s Commotion, for a compelling conversation on satire, truth and today's fractured media landscape.
Together, they'll explore what The Onion’s acquisition of Infowars reveals about our news ecosystem, how humour can be uniquely equipped to expose power and misinformation, and why satire complements and strengthens traditional journalism.
