"This talk was a homecoming of sorts for Sue Gardner, who began her career at CBC Radio in Fredericton before becoming one of the world’s most influential media figures. When she arrived on campus in the fall of 2009, she was the executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, a collaborative Internet project that revolutionized the sharing of information, including news. Before joining Wikimedia, Gardner spent a decade as a reporter and producer for CBC Radio, eventually guiding the development of the CBC’s online news services. In the spring of 2014, she left Wikimedia to devote her time to other projects, particularly those related to maintaining an open and free Internet. In a rapidly changing media world, Sue Gardner never stands still."

A journalist, lecturer, and bestselling writer, Philip Lee began his career as an investigative reporter on Canada’s east coast. Restigouche emerged from his long-standing interest in rivers and the people who love them. His first book, Home Pool: The Fight to Save the Atlantic Salmon, grew out of his award-winning reporting on the decline of the Atlantic salmon. Lee is also the author of Frank: The Life and Politics of Frank McKenna, a national bestseller, and Bittersweet: Confessions of a Twice-Married Man, which was long-listed for the BC National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction. A professor at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, Lee developed the Dalton Camp lecture series, broadcast annually by CBC Radio’s Ideas and edited The Next Big Thing (a published collection from the lectures). When he is not writing and teaching, Lee spends as much time as he can following the currents of rivers.
