Let this be a lesson to Canadian media: Pundits and polls are no match for boots-on-the-ground reporting. Relying on talking heads and telephone polling doesn't give you the full picture of what's really happening out there. If it did, there would've been a different outcome in Tuesday's U.S. election. There has been a growing trust deficit between the media and the masses. Now is not the time to preach media's importance or worse, pivot towards propaganda. It's time to invest in journalism - real, fact-based, hard-hitting, independent, local, relevant journalism. And it's also time to reevaluate how that journalism is delivered, in both tools and tone. Otherwise, mainstream media will continue its long slide into irrelevance, and we'll all be worse for it. #media #canadianmedia #journalism #localnews #election
