Native Advertising: Journalism’s Saviour or Sellout?

Jill Borra, Cathrin Bradbury, Scott White, Ivor Shapiro

This event is sold out but you can follow the livestream, J-Source's liveblog of the discussion, and the Twitter hashtag #CJFjtalk.

Native advertising. Branded content. Custom content. Whatever it’s called, these ‘advertorials’ are controversial, yet news organizations see them as the latest and best business strategy. Can Journalism’s tattered integrity be rescued when the lines between editorial and advertising content are blurred? Can sponsored content be palatable to readers, and to journalists? And while these ads are delivering new dollars to legacy news outlets, are they also eroding trust and driving readers away?

Join Jill Borra, executive editor at The Globe and Mail; Cathrin Bradbury, executive director of content development at Star Media Group; and Scott White, vice-president of content strategy and business development at Postmedia Network, for this discussion. Ivor Shapiro, chair of the School of Journalism and associate professor specializing in journalism ethics at Ryerson University, moderates.

Registration: 6:00 p.m. | Discussion: 6:30 p.m. | Reception 8:00 p.m.
TMX Broadcast Centre - Gallery, The Exchange Tower, 130 King St. W., Toronto, M5X 1J2
