Kai Nagata is a journalist currently based in British Columbia. He is also
developing two documentaries for free online distribution.

Until July 2011, Kai was CTV's Quebec City Bureau Chief, reporting mostly on
politics before quitting his job. He detailed his reasons for resigning in
an open letter titled "Why I Quit My Job". The blog post went viral and
sparked a wide variety of reaction and discussion regarding TV news
journalism in Canada and beyond:

Graduate School of Journalism, SFU Communications professor Dr. Bob Hackett
and former BCIT Journalism instructor George Orr. The evening will be
