Mike Gasher, who is recognized as one of Canada’s preeminent journalism scholars, has passed away late last month, surrounded by family and loved ones.
Gasher was the co-author of Media and Communication in Canada: Networks, Culture, Technology, Audience, which is one of the foundational introductory textbooks on the subject of mass communication in Canada.
In addition to his academic work, Gasher wrote a regular column in The Review newspaper, an award-winning publication that serves Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.
Journalist and good friend Larry Pynn wrote a beautiful tribute that you can read here.
