Village Media CEO Jeff Elgie

Jeff Elgie is the CEO of Village Media, a growing network of more than two dozen local news sites that run on the Sault Ste. Marie company’s proprietary content management system that it also licenses to other publishers.

In this episode of Broadcast Dialogue – The Podcast, Elgie takes us inside the company’s business model and its recent push into Queen’s Park, in addition to touching on some hot button issues including why he’s NOT a fan of Bill C-18, the Online News Act, and how Village Media is very carefully and intentionally testing the integration of generative AI.
