Ep #3 - The KERZNER EXPEDITION - ONLINE ’JOURNALISM’: HIT OR (rhymes with HIT)? - SK talks to Canadaland founder Jesse Brown

What's a 'journalist' today? Steven Kerzner thinks that nowadays, every schmuck with a smartphone can (and does) call themselves a "journalist". Jesse Brown thinks it's a positive step toward keeping the media and politicians and police accountable; Steven disagrees, thinks the term 'journalist' has become meaningless as most web reporters operate without journalistic standards or ethics. The lines are drawn and a friendly conversation becomes a good-natured brawl. And sometimes, just a brawl.

What do you expect when the outspoken broadcaster and creator of Ed the Sock faces off with Jesse Brown, who holds the media's feet to the fire as the feared bad boy of Canadian online journalism?

Our Guest: Jesse Brown is a longtime veteran of Canadian media whose dismay at what he saw as a lack of media accountability inspired him in 2013 to launch the Canadaland podcast. which quickly expanded to a network of shows that makes traditional Canadian newsmedia alternately scared or pissed-off. Check him out at Canadalandshow.com.
