Marshall McLuhan Fellow 2023 Jodesz Gavilan Speaking in Toronto on February 6

22Jan24

From Paolo Granata, Media Ethics Lab, University of St. Michael’s College, University of Toronto

Hello folks! Join me on Tuesday FEB 6, for a special talk with Marshall McLuhan Fellow 2023 Jodesz Gavilan, investigative journalist, researcher, and podcast host. Jodesz Gavilan has been an investigative reporter and researcher for the independent news outlet Rappler since 2013.

For her presentation in Canada, she has chosen the topic: “Building Communities: The evolving role of journalists in covering human rights stories in the Philippines” in which she discusses the journalist’s expanding role that goes beyond reporting to include working on how to create impactful solutions to social challenges. Her presentation would explain how journalism can be more than truth-telling but also as an advocacy for collaborative action.

This event is presented by the School of Journalism at the Toronto Metropolitan University and my Media Ethics Lab at the University of Toronto – University of St. Michael’s College of Toronto, in collaboration with the Embassy of Canada in the Philippines with support from the McLuhan Foundation.

Registration (free) is required: https://jgavilan.eventbrite.ca
