Synopsis

"The Journal," a CBC Television current affairs show from 1982 to 1992, aired at 10:22 PM after "The National," delving deeper into news stories through interviews, documentaries, and town hall meetings. This split hour highlighted CBC's tension between news and public affairs units. Hosted initially by Barbara Frum and Mary Lou Finlay, it became Frum's sole hosting gig after the first season until her passing in 1992. Mark Starowicz produced the show, utilizing interview techniques like the "double-ender" initially, later transitioning to satellite technology for interviews. Guest hosts included Bill Cameron, Peter Kent, Keith Morrison, and Brian Stewart when Frum was absent.
