Our model is built off of a lean cycle that allows for speed, authenticity and the democratization of access. Before the digital transformation and the rise of digital platforms, in terms of being able to access information or to be purveyors of information, you had to either have a licence from the CRTC or buy a cable package. Today, all you need is what we all have in this room, which is a cellphone. It allows anyone with that device—whether you're on dial-up or high speed—to access information.
My only goal, and it's why I got into this industry, was to be a steward of good information. That is it. I wanted to see the most number of people receive information in the ways that they need to receive it, and I wanted to do it in the most authentic ways. That's part of the DNA of Gonez Media. We actively reflect our audiences, whether they look different or whether they have different political views. We don't stray away from that. We believe that a healthy democracy should incentivize a healthy debate and a healthy ecosystem.
