April 1, Part 2: PSAs, advertising and COVID-19; Minister of Public Services and Procurement Anita Anand; Sir Patrick Stewart; Historian Yuval Noah Harari on pandemics past and present
1:23:21
You’ve probably heard a lot of public service announcements around #COVID19, do you think they get the message across? Host of CBC's Under The Influence Terry O’Reilly walks us through what makes an effective PSA.
Plus, we discuss how advertisers are blocking ads on news articles about COVID-19, which Digital marketing expert Claire Atkin says is starving media companies and trusted news sources of valuable revenue.
Then, imagine drafting a shopping list for the entire country — and on the list are critical medical supplies to fight the pandemic. We’re asking Minister of Public Services and Procurement Anita Anand whether the government is doing enough to make sure Canadian hospitals have the equipment they need.
Host of q Tom Power talks to Sir Patrick Stewart, and asks: what would Jean-Luc Picard do?
This isn’t the first pandemic to hit humanity; author and historian Yuval Noah Harari joins us to discuss whether we’re doing a better job than our ancestors, and how history will record the time of COVID-19.
