The Woman Reporter and the Halifax Explosion

Michael Dupuis

A wartime explosion in Halifax harbour has wrecked the city killing 2,000, injuring 9,000 and destroying 1,600 houses. Toronto Advocate cub reporter Kate Dawson is sent to Halifax to cover the explosion's aftermath and in the process prove herself equal to any male journalist. After reporting the devastation, interviewing key figures and covering the official inquiry into the disaster, she learns the authorities intend to place responsibility for the disaster on three innocent men. Kate faces a dilemma. Should she reveal the authorities' attempt at scapegoating the men, and by going public risk her career and imprisonment under the War Measures Act? Or, should she report the truth?
