Reporting on Sexual Assault: Media, Accountability, and the Justice System
How does the media cover sexual assault, and what impact does that coverage have on public understanding, the justice system, and survivor communities?
Join the Massey College Journalism Fellows for an urgent, timely panel discussion featuring two of Canada’s leading investigative reporters:
Robyn Doolittle (The Globe and Mail) – Lead investigative reporter behind the landmark Unfounded series, author of Had It Coming: What’s Fair in the Age of #MeToo, and primary legal reporter on the recent 2018 World Junior Hockey trial.
Laura Robinson – Investigative journalist covering sport and sexual abuse, researcher for CBC’s Thin Ice, and author of Crossing the Line: Violence and Sexual Assault in Canada's National Sport, which will be updated in 2027 with reporting from the recent World Junior Hockey trial.
