Journalism in an Age of Rage

Welcome to Chapter 2 of the Bayfield Writers' Series, where readers and writers connect to celebrate the power of story, and in this case, journalism.

We're bringing together two of Canada’s most respected voices in journalism for an exclusive conversation you won't want to miss.

Carol Off – Broadcast journalist, Award-winning author, and former host of As It Happens (CBC)

In her latest book, At a Loss for Words: Conversations in an Age of Rage, a national bestseller, Carol digs deep into six words whose meanings have been distorted and weaponized in recent years—including democracy, freedom and truth—and asks whether we can reclaim their value.

Lisa LaFlamme – Former CTV National News chief anchor and current host of Carry the Fire podcast

Lisa was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2019, an honour that recognized her contributions to journalism, news broadcasting, and her support and promotion of human rights. Lisa will lead a compelling conversation with Carol, diving into the complex landscape of modern media and public trust.

This dynamic duo will help us rethink how we consume news, challenge assumptions, and spark meaningful dialogue about the role of journalism today.
