New Podcast Episode: Beyond the Skyline With MJP

This episode is a little different. Actually, it’s very different! 

As a former editor-in-chief and long-time journalist from Canada, I’ve always had a keen interest in the state of journalism back home. And when that passion intersects with my country’s national sport – hockey – it gets even more fascinating.

In this episode, I sit down with Rick Westhead, veteran investigative reporter and one of the most trusted voices in sports journalism. Rick (introduced to me by a hockey buddy) was recently in Dubai, and we had an insightful conversation about some of the biggest issues in Canadian journalism and in sports media.

We dive into the mistakes legacy media made when we as an industry began posting all our content online for free; the conservative culture within the hockey community and the NHL’s headquarters; the Kyle Beach scandal and the NHL’s response; the upcoming trial of the World Junior hockey players in London, Ontario, and how Hockey Canada handled the situation; and we take a critical look at Canadian media coverage of the Kyle Beach case and the World Junior legal proceedings – and how the media should be graded

It’s an eye-opening discussion looking at the intersection of hockey, journalism, and culture.
