Canadian journalism was on the menu as Concordia’s Washington, D.C., alumni chapter enjoyed a rare opportunity to host the All-Canada University Association’s annual gathering in the United States capital on April 20.

The event, held at the University Club of Washington DC, was distinguished by four seasoned journalists — all women — who comprised an expert panel on the influence of Canadian journalism in the U.S. and internationally.

About 70 guests, including Marie Claire Morin, Concordia’s vice-president, Advancement and Alumni Relations, took part in the discussion.

Listen to a podcast featuring Joyce Napier, BA 81, Radio-Canada’s Washington, D.C., bureau chief; Gwen Tolbart, BA 95, anchor/reporter for FOX 5 DC; Linda Kay, MA 01, chair of Concordia’s Department of Journalism; and Barbara Hines, director of the Graduate Program in Mass Communications/Media Studies at Howard University.
