The Vaccine-Autism Link Controversy | Brian Deer spent seven years investigating research that linked the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine with autism, originally published in 1998 in the British medical journal the Lancet. In a series of articles for The Sunday Times of London and in a British Channel 4 documentary, he exposed the research's key finding as a sham. His investigation ultimately resulted in the British Medical Journal denouncing the research as fraudulent in January 2011. On February 15, we welcomed Brian Deer to Toronto to speak about lessons learned during his investigation. Following his presentation, Brian joins a panel discussion with Penny Park, director of Science Media Centre Canada; Dr. Matthew Stanbrook, a University Health Network (UHN) staff respirologist and a deputy editor of the Canadian Medical Association Journal; and Dr. Miriam Shuchman, chair of the Research Ethics Board at Women's College Hospital.

What’s Next for Broadcast News? | “Great devices help. Fantastic wireless connections help. Superb desktop navigation systems help. But... they are merely technological means to an end — and the end is, and always has been, storytelling." So says Mark Lukasiewicz, the vice president of NBC News Specials and Digital Media. One of a number of Canadians who've established successful journalism careers in the United States, Mark has seen TV news ride a few tech storm waves, from the rise and fall of the dot.com era to today's radically redefined multi-channel universe. Yet while the mediums may change, he says, there will always be a demand for quality journalism. The Canadian Journalism Foundation welcomes Mark Lukasiewicz to Toronto. He is introduced by Executive Director of Documentary Programming for CBC Television, Mark Starowicz | 11/17/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
