SUMMARY - Gatekeepers: Institutions, Platforms, and Policy

In any society, certain actors control access to opportunities, resources, and audiences. These gatekeepers—whether traditional institutions, digital platforms, or policy-making bodies—shape who gets heard, who gets served, and who gets to participate. Understanding how gatekeeping works, who the gatekeepers are, and how their power is exercised and contested is essential for navigating contemporary civic life and for debates about fairness, access, and democratic participation.

Liberal policy resolution targeting disinformation raises censorship concerns

A policy resolution passed at the Liberal National Convention was intended to target disinformation, but critics warn it could give the government control over Canadian media outlets. The Liberal government says it would never limit freedom of the press and would not implement the policy.
