What do you think is the biggest challenge facing Canadian broadcasters today?

I'm not sure—I haven't thought much about how the news industry works. Mainly competition from other TV stations and cable providers. Revenue collapse from lost advertising and competition from streaming platforms. A combination of revenue loss, competition from tech giants, misinformation, and talent retention issues.

How do you currently consume news from Canadian sources?

Mainly through traditional TV broadcasts at scheduled times. Mix of TV and occasionally checking news websites or apps. Primarily through streaming platforms, podcasts, or social media. Multi-platform approach—I follow news across TV, streaming, social media, and podcasts regularly.

What do you know about the role of artificial intelligence in Canadian newsrooms?

I haven't heard much about AI being used in news production. I know AI is used somewhere in media, but I'm not sure how. AI is used for some technical tasks like transcription and video editing in newsrooms. AI is integrated for transcription, editing, and story analysis, freeing journalists for deeper investigation while raising ethical concerns.

How do you view the future of broadcast news in Canada over the next 5-10 years?

I think traditional broadcast news will disappear completely. It will probably stay the same, just maybe available on more platforms. It will continue evolving with more streaming, podcasts, and personalized content delivery. Broadcast news will transform into hybrid newsrooms producing multi-platform content, with increased personalization, VR experiences, consolidation, and a mix of public funding and subscription models.
