Meslin, who recently joined Armstrong Strategy Group as Senior Associate, Democratic Innovation, spoke about improving democracies at a What’s the Big Idea event hosted by ASG and Henry of Pelham Winery with guest panelist Liz Benneian, Director with Better Niagara.

Mainstream professional journalism has taken a beating, as it faces the steady dwindling of its ranks, and a political reality that has conflated “fake media” with stories political partisans simply don’t like. It’s relevancy — and very survival — has never been so challenged.

At our next evening event, Toronto resident Puneet Dutt will share some themes from her book The Better Monsters, which she describes as a reflection on the cultural complexities of politics, violence and war in the new century.

Puneet Dutt talks about her inspiration for The Better Monsters. Join us for a reading and discussion with Puneet on November 22nd, moderated by David Fancy.

Ian Brown, an author and writer for the Globe and Mail, led a riveting talk on October 18 as the kickoff to What’s the Big Idea co-hosted by ASG and Henry of Pelham.
