The federal Liberal government has been studying newspapers for several years. A couple of years ago, I was invited to fly to Ottawa to testify before the parliamentary Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage. At that time, I made the case that we need reliable local newspapers to cover local news, sports and political issues. The whole fake news idea was gaining steam at that time and has since become a full-blown epidemic. There are now many “news” outlets that spread falsehoods with pride and others that do it by way of sloppy reporting.

Experience, we all know it’s important, but are we valuing the right kind? I listened to a podcast last week that got me thinking about this topic. It was a conversation with Rick Rubin, one of the most influential music producers in America and in 2006, one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People.
