CPAC has cancelled two of their most popular shows (PrimeTime Politics and L'Essentiel) due to financial concerns. The loss of this non-partisan programming, makes Canadians less informed and more susceptible to misinformation. #SaveLocalNews

I have questions regarding Rogers's dismissal of Tina Yazdani

CityNews owe their viewers an explanation as to why Tina Yazdani was fired, and why two of her stories criticizing the Ford government were deleted. Tina has a distinguished track record of holding Doug Ford accountable and her firing weakens our democracy. #SaveLocalNews

Three journalists and nine paramedics were killed by Israeli airstrikes on Saturday. The reporters were in a clearly marked press vehicle. Israel has killed more journalists this year than every other country on earth combined. #EndImpunity #JournalismIsNotACrime

A British correspondent for Russian Television was targeted by an Israeli air strike yesterday. This continues the pattern we have seen for the last two years of IDF forces committing war crimes specifically targeting journalists. #JournalismIsNotACrime #EndImpunity

“86 minutes left. You are the only one responsible for your life.” --A journalist faced death threats from Polymarket gamblers, after his reporting decided a bet. These type of wagers must be outlawed before more journalists are put at risk. Full story: tinyurl.com/evaf5vtw

This is an unacceptable headline for Canadian media in 2026. Israeli military have consistently lied about their war crimes & they have killed dozens of journalists. Using IDF statements as headlines, undermines the credibility of a media outlet. IDF are not a credible source. #EndImpunity

As the United States and Israel wage war on Iran, it is paramount for Canadian context to know how our media has responded to previous global wars. @readthemaple.com compiled editorial positions on wars from Canada's major newspapers, since WW1. Read their full report: tinyurl.com/2uzbxdxc

Last week, Canadian journalist Rachel Gilmore was approached by 2 men (one a SELF-DESCRIBED NAZI) who attempted to intimidate her over a story she wrote about their white nationalist gym club. We stand in solidarity with Rachel & call on all news organizations to denounce this! ✊

Journalist Estefany Rodriguez has a valid work permit and was meeting with ICE later this month regarding her immigration status. Yesterday, she was abducted by ICE agents without an arrest warrant. This is another attack on the free press and we call for Estefany's immediate release!

A new study from @readthemaple.com shows that Canadian media have a 25-year history of claiming Iran is close to acquiring nuclear weapons. This is important context for the current American-Israeli attack on Iran and our media's response. Full study: tinyurl.com/59mdjztd

We celebrate all the women media workers on this International Women's Day 2026! We also recognize the lack of gender equity within some Canadian newsrooms. For example, according to the CAJ diversity survey, only 31% of full-time staff at Postmedia are women. #IWD2026 #GiveToGain

48 of the 59 journalists released by Israel since 2023, were never charged with any crimes. CPJ reports "those interviewed recounted — physical assaults, forced stress positions, sensory deprivation, sexual violence, and medical neglect." #JournalismIsNotACrime #EndImpunity

A couple of Canadian journalists (myself included) have started a fundraiser for Trenth Ernst & Tumbler Ridgelines. Since the shooting, he's stopped writing. We're hoping to get him some short-term support for these hard times. Donate here: www.gofundme.com/f/support-tr...

It should never be a race to see who can report details of a tragic event first. Accuracy and fact-based reporting are paramount in these situations. Apologies and redactions are typically seen by a fraction of those who took in the original misinformation.

Disingenuous headlines like this, harm the entire media industry's credibility. Israel has killed over 200 journalists in Palestine since 2023, so we call on Western media not to whitewash war crimes committed by the Israeli government. #EndImpunity #JournalismIsNotACrime

The 20-year prison sentence given to 78-year-old, pro-democracy publisher Jimmy Lai, is clear suppression of free press by Chinese government. "The rule of law has been completely shattered," said @pressfreedom.bsky.social CEO Jodie Ginsberg. #JournalismIsNotACrime Read: tinyurl.com/3dnxfjjh

Israel kills 3 more journalists in Gaza airstrike, including an employee of CBS News. This comes despite claims of a "ceasefire". We continue to see very little coverage of these war crimes from Western media. This silence is a betrayal of their colleagues. #EndImpunity #JournalismIsNotACrime
