Join Angela Antle - writer, PhD candidate with Memorial University's Oil to Equitable Energy Collaboration, and former CBC producer, for a discussion on the challenges facing community-based renewable energy in Newfoundland and Labrador and the broader implications for Canada's energy future.
Drawing on her Energy Futures column series and academic research, Angela will examine how policy environments influence community energy development and explore the role journalism can play in fostering public understanding, democratic participation, and informed debate during periods of rapid energy transition.
The session will also introduce the concept of prefigurative journalism, journalism that not only reports on emerging futures but helps communities imagine and build them. In an era of growing polarization and fossil fuel disinformation, Angela will discuss how storytelling and independent media can contribute to more resilient, inclusive, and just energy systems.
