Read the transcriptPhotojournalism is an essential part of the media’s mandate to inform the public. Photojournalists work at the local level covering important daily events but also have assignments that take them to far flung places to document major world events. This puts them, often, in the thick of the action, searching for the frames that they hope will accurately portray what they are witnessing. But especially when it comes to covering tragedy, destruction, and death, it’s a slippery slope for those behind the camera as questions of ethics, morality, and exploitation come under the scanner. These issues are explored in Iman Adem’s Review of Journalism story “Behind the Frame.”
Guest Bio:
Iman is a fourth-year journalism student at Toronto Metropolitan University. She is a writer who has a deep interest in stories from the Global South. In her free time, she enjoys reading and watching movies. She loves to explore new stories and understand different perspectives.

Read the transcriptNorth Korea has been a fascination of western media for decades. Given that people are rarely ever able to cross the country’s borders, people are reliant on the news media for a lot of their information on the country.
Over the years, much of the reporting on North Korean affairs has relied on sensationalism. The coverage revolves around a few predictable topics, such as missile testing and nuclear weapons. However, most prominently featured is reporting on its leader, Kim Jong-Un, usually some quirky development about the eccentric – and, as we are constantly reminded, overweight – dictator. And if it’s not about Kim Jong-un, then you’d be hard-pressed to hear about it. The citizens of North Korea are seldom heard from at all.
Silas sat down with Hyeji Yoon, who wrote a piece for the review of Journalism about where the western media fails when it comes to reporting on North Korea. She spoke to several North Koreans to get their perspective, and explored the damage that this kind of sensationalist reporting can do. Hyeji spoke about her reporting process, how she was able to find these sources, and why Canadian media has such a strange fascination with this country.
Guest Bio:
Hyeji Yoon is a fourth-year undergraduate journalism student at Toronto Metropolitan University. As a writer, she exhibits a lot of flexibility in the topics she is passionate about—which can range from as broad a scope as international human rights to as small-scale as her neighbourhood’s annual bake sale. She hopes to expand her limits even further by developing a skillset suited to tackle the ever-growing newssphere in the digital world. You can often catch her during short breaks poring over books on her phone because she doesn’t want the physical copies getting dirty.

Read the transcriptThe hockey world was rocked in May of 2022 when news broke that Hockey Canada had silently settled a disturbing sexual assault case against eight of the 2018 Canadian Hockey League players. When the news broke, the organization was put under fire for the ways in which they handled the horrendous events, leading to the loss of sponsorships, and eventually, the stepping down of Hockey Canada’s board members. While the sport of hockey is integral to the identity of many Canadians, this news put that identity into question, and sparked discussions of power, privilege, and ethics—all aspects Carly Penrose investigates in her story for the spring issue of the Review of Journalism, titled, “Cultures of Abuse.” In the fourth episode of Pull Quotes, Tara speaks with Carly about what it was like interviewing the sports journalist who broke the story, the challenges she faced covering such sensitive subject matter, and how she navigated writing a still-unfolding story.
Guest Bio:
Carly Penrose is a second-year Master of Journalism student at Toronto Metropolitan University. She is from Halifax, Nova Scotia and did her undergraduate degree in psychology at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick. Carly likes to understand how and why people think and act the way they do.

Read the transcriptIn August of 2022, the Toronto Star was embroiled in controversy over the popular advice column “Ask Ellie.” Ellie Tesher, a relationship advice columnist at the Star, was being dragged on social media for advice she gave to a woman experiencing abuse. The woman claimed that her partner had repeatedly told her he wanted to kill her, and pointed a gun at her on multiple occasions. In response, Tesher pointed out to the woman’s cheating as a reason that the abuse was happening. Readers accused Tesher of victim-blaming.
Historically, many advice columns have treated systemic problems as individual struggles. They were often directed to an audience of women, but they were anything but feminist. Many of them would teach women how to conform to traditional gender roles, and fit into a society that didn’t see women as equals.
However, in recent years, many advice columns have become a space for people to challenge traditional gender roles and other systemic injustices. In her piece for the Review of Journalism, Production Editor Maddy Mahoney writes about the changing landscape of this journalistic medium, and how advice columnists are trying to move away from seeing themselves as authoritative figures. Managing Podcast Editor Silas Le Blanc sat down with Maddy to discuss her story, and her thoughts on advice columns more broadly.
Guest Bio:
Maddy Mahoney is a second-year Master of Journalism student at Toronto Metropolitan University. She is a freelance journalist whose work can be found at Xtra Magazine, Toronto Life, CBC Arts, and others. She was formerly an Editorial Intern at Maisonneuve magazine and the Web Editor for CJRU 1280AM. She’s interested in long-form features, queer storytelling, subcultures, and weird internet trends.

Read the transcriptTim Cooke and Silas Le Blanc behind the scenes working on Pull QuotesEpisode summary
In August of 2022, Now magazine, the decades-old alt weekly arts magazine in Toronto, put out its final issue (or so we thought—we get into this in the episode). The issue was published by a small team of journalists who hadn’t been paid in 21 weeks for their work, and as it turns out, the behind-the-scenes of the magazine was far from smooth-going.
For the past several months, the Review’s print team managing editor Anthony Milton has been nose-deep into reporting on the behind the scenes events at Now magazine. Spanning over five years, it’s a story twists and turns and reveals the lengths journalists are willing to go when they care so deeply about the work they do, and spans across five years. Spoiler alert: it isn’t over yet. Anthony gets into everything that unfolded over at Now in long form story for the Spring 2023 issue of the Review of Journalism, and we sit down with him in episode two of the show to learn more about what went into the reporting. Plus, he shares the challenges he faced, and what he left on the cutting board for the story.
Guest Bio
Anthony Milton is a master of journalism student at Toronto Metropolitan University. Before entering journalism, he worked as a consultant in the electricity and climate space. He’s interested in longform writing and data journalism, about culture and politics. You can find his words in Toronto Life magazine, and his tweets at @C_AnthonyMilton.

Read the transcriptIn November 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT, a chatbot application powered by (what was then) its most advanced text-generating AI system: GPT-3. ChatGPT’s ability to produce clever, well-written text in response to users’ prompts had many journalists wondering: how will this new breed of text-generating AI, known as large language models, affect the journalism industry, especially newswriting?
In January, we got our first taste of what this AI-driven future might look like. US online tech news site CNET was caught quietly experimenting with an as-yet-unspecified large language model tool. They used it for over 70 financial explainers—but without publicly announcing the initiative. Even by CNET’s own admission, the results were mixed.
It’s an issue that didn’t make it into the magazine, so we thought we’d devote this, the first episode of the sixth season of Pull Quotes, to large language model tools and their potential to disrupt the journalism industry.
First, we talked to a computer scientist, who explained how these tools are built and how they work. Then, we turned to a newsroom digital developer. His experience developing other forms of text-generating AI tools means he is ideally suited to assess the new technology’s potential impact on news journalism.
Guests:
Alona Fyshe is an associate professor of computing science at the University of Alberta’s faculty of science. In her research, she combines computational linguistics, machine learning and neuroscience to study how large language models process language—compared to how the human brain does so.
Lucas Timmons is a digital developer for data-driven content at Torstar Corporation, where he works on newsroom automation. Among other things, he creates tools that source and process data, which they can then use to automatically generate stories. Before then, he was the head of the Canadian Press’s digital data desk.
