Robyn Bresnahan from CBC will be here to chat with Martin Baron about his role in the famous Spotlight investigation and the future of journalism.

The movie Spotlight is about a group of investigative journalists at the Boston Globe in 2002 who uncovered the large scope of sexual abuse that was committed by Catholic priests and how the Catholic Church attempted to conceal it at all costs.

Robyn Bresnahan is a Carleton journalism grad, she hosts the Ottawa morning show on CBC.

"I didn't decide to go after the Catholic Church, I decided to pursue a story," says Baron.

Bresnahan and Baron talk about the day the first story broke, the reaction from the public, the effect that the investigation had on the Catholic Church.

Bresnahan asks about how the movie was received in Rome.

"The reception that they got in Rome from the press there was the warmest reception in all of the promotional events. I can only speculate, so I'll speculate, the press in Rome feel repressed by the presence of the church in many ways, and I think they like to be liberated from that," says Baron.

"People can collaborate more, we have more technology, it helps us do our jobs better," says Baron.

Baron talks about how the real competition for journalism is the internet, facebook and google are great at targeting, sucking up advertising and readers.

"We're going to try a lot of things and we'll see what works," says Baron.

"Sometimes the answers are very simple, we should look at things like wheels on luggage," says Baron.

Journalism student asked if Spotlight romanticized journalism.

"I hope that it causes the public to reflect on the need to investigate," says Baron.

"From a very early age I wanted to be a journalist," says Baron.

"Just because it's difficult, incredibly difficult, doesn't mean it's impossible," says Baron.
