"A self-fullfilling spiral into irrelevance" is how Linden MacIntyre eloquently speaks of current media & journalism trends, and also laments the state of the nation at the CBC.
His muted yet passionate, and thoroughly literate rumniations on journalism bubble to the surface during an interview with Anna Maria Tremonti on CBC Radio's The Current. He was being interviewed for winning the Giller Prize for literature for his book "The Bishop's Man" which chronicles the emerging crisis of conscience in a worldly priest (click here for more on the book and the prize.)
MacIntyre is a journalist at CBC's "The Fifth Estate." All the more reason to listen to his thoughts on the state of media today. (Click on Pt 2 from November 12th for the full interview.)
