The State of Local Journalism 

A Canadian Club Luncheon - Feb. 18

Local journalism is at a crossroads—shaped by digital disruption, changing audience expectations, financial pressures, and renewed demands for trust and accountability. What does the future of local news look like, and why does it matter?

Join us for a timely conversation on The State of Local Journalism, featuring three leading voices from Calgary’s media landscape: Drew Anderson, Prairies reporter for The Narwhal; Jeremy Klaszus, Founder and Editor of The Sprawl; and Monica Zurowski, Deputy Editor of Post Media Calgary.

Together, they’ll examine how local newsrooms are evolving, where independent and legacy media intersect, and what’s at stake for civic life, democracy, and informed communities. The discussion will conclude with audience questions and reflections on what comes next for local journalism.
