TORONTO, Jan. 23, 2023 /CNW/ – The Canadian Journalism Foundation’s (CJF) popular J-Talks Live kicks off its 2023 season this week on Thursday January 26 with an exploration of the growing role played by podcasting in long-form investigative crime journalism.
Journalists have brought innovative storytelling, painstaking research and skilled reporting to podcasting
In this virtual event, the CJF will showcase leading podcast journalists who will explore their role in telling these stories, how podcasts have changed the way we think about investigative crime narratives and how this relatively new medium is building relationships with audiences.
“We are thrilled to welcome three journalists who have brought innovative storytelling, painstaking research and skilled reporting to investigative podcasting,” says Angela Pacienza, CJF programming co-chair and Executive Editor at The Globe and Mail. “Podcast series such as Do You Know Mordechai?, Sweet Bobby and Finding Cleo represent deeply rooted features that go well beyond formulaic crime stories, bringing audiences into the journalistic process and producing deeply reported features.”
The virtual discussion on January 26 at 1:00 p.m. features independent podcast producer Kathleen Goldhar and Basia Cummings, editor and partner at Tortoise Studios. Award-winning investigative journalist Connie Walker at Gimlet Media will moderate the panel.
