Many journalists and commentators are leaving the mainstream media to start new enterprises of their own. It’s not for the faint of heart, but audiences are responding. Politics in Alberta provides a steady stream of content for podcasts and online news sites. This week was no exception. Kathleen Petty talks to three media rebels who made the leap to independence and the freedom that comes with it. Ryan Jespersen hosts Real Talk, Jen Gerson started The Line and Dave Cournoyer is with Daveberta.
