The Death of Canadian Journalism

In a crowded bar in downtown Vancouver, a group of reporters from the city's main daily newspaper, The Vancouver Sun, gather after work to do what most people revel in after a long week at the office: bitch about the boss.

If the aim of journalism is to hold the powerful to account, Hersh is a towering example on how to do just that.
