NewsRadio Bookshelf: Carol Off (At a Loss for Words)

Описание к видео NewsRadio Bookshelf: Carol Off (At a Loss for Words)

Few people know the power of words quite like Carol Off. As a career journalist, including 16 years as the host of "As It Happens" on CBC Radio, words were her stock in trade.
She says she got the idea for her latest book in 2020 when she noticed how strident the language of our political conversations had become.
Common words that we once shared had been co-opted – or as she puts it – “hijacked, weaponized, and semantically bleached” by extremists.
Now, she has put pen to paper to take six of those words back.
Here to talk about "At a Loss for Words: Conversation in an Age of Rage" is author Carol Off.
