CURRENT AFFAIRS
The Agenda with Steve Paikin
Insightful. Intelligent. Informative. These are just a few of the trademarks of TVO’s bold, new current affairs program: The Agenda with Steve Paikin. Anchored by acclaimed broadcaster-journalist Steve Paikin, each episode is devoted to the issues that are changing our world – from the conflict in the Middle East, to Provincial and Federal politics; from climate change and economic growth, to trends and ethics in advertising and marketing. Exploring the “why,” rather than the “what,” programs provide a clearer understanding of the social, political, cultural, and economic forces influencing our lives. The Agenda’s unique one- or two-issue format translates into more depth and diversity of opinion and perspective. Each program sets the stage for debate by opening with an interview between Paikin and a newsmaker of the day. For the balance of the hour, the floor is given over to intelligent and vigorous discussion by opinion-makers and experts. Featured movers and shakers have included Conrad Black, Bob Rae, Michael Ignatieff, Stéphane Dion, and Gerard Kennedy and, in a rare gathering –– four former premiers of Ontario. Once a month, The Agenda broadcasts before a live audience at the University of Toronto’s Munk Centre for International Studies. Founded by Janice Stein, a University of Toronto professor and The Agenda’s foreign affairs expert, the Munk Centre itself is a forum for lively discussion on global issues. In-depth analysis. Thought-provoking debate. Satisfy viewer appetite for more substance with their nightly viewing. Clarify our complex world with The Agenda with Steve Paikin.
