He said Canadians were spoilt for choice yet hungry for analysis. “People don’t want to know what happened, they want to know why it happened,” Kelley said. “In investigative journalism, trust trumps all.”
Prior to his talk, Kelley accepted a Distinguished Alumni Award from former Department of Journalism Director Enn Raudsepp.
