As 2025 wraps up, we’re looking back at three investigations that shaped the Global Reporting Centre’s global coverage this year. 🧵👇

Every day we feel lucky to work with journalists like @melissakchan.bsky.social. Please read her latest newsletter for the GRC. And consider a year-end donation to the GRC and help fund our journalism in 2026! globalreportingcentre.org/newsletter/t...

I realize tons of orgs are asking for contributions — but please consider donating to @globalreportingcentre.org. The world is in crisis and yet at this important time, newsrooms are cutting international reporting budgets:

Our latest newsletter went out on the eve of International Anti-Corruption Day. globalreportingcentre.org/newsletter/t...

We toss around lines like “speaking truth to power,” but the real picture of journalism is tougher: political pressure, shrinking public broadcasters, newsrooms getting gutted. A word from our Founder & Academic Director @peterwklein.bsky.social: globalreportingcentre.org/newsletter/a...

Trains regularly hit wildlife, but poor reporting obscures the true toll. See the latest reporting below.👇 This story is part of a collaborative project between The Howard Centers for Investigative Journalism and news organizations from the U.S. and Canada. 🔗: cnsmaryland.org/off-the-rails/

In a recent @policyalternatives.ca article, @gavinfridell.bsky.social, a @smuhalifax.bsky.social research professor and member of the GRC’s supply chains hub, argues that Canada needs to invest in green steel and iron if it wants to be a clean energy superpower. bit.ly/3WsUecY

Over the past few weeks, we've been sharing a message about the importance of collaborative journalism. Here is the latest example: a deep-dive investigation into the abuse faced by migrant farm workers in Canada. And a look at how our visa system can trap workers in exploitative conditions.

Frank de Boon, a former conservation officer, has dealt with something most of us hardly think about: wildlife struck and killed by trains. “We were seeing it all the time,” he told @thenarwhal.ca's @ainsliecruickshank.bsky.social in her latest story. projects.thenarwhal.ca/collision-co...

“Railway companies are difficult or impossible to work with.” These were the words of an internal govt. document browsed by The Narwhal and the CBC in their recent investigative story of wildlife dying on train tracks. @thenarwhal.ca story: projects.thenarwhal.ca/collision-co...

I've always been so impressed with the incredible journalism produced by @thenarwhal.ca. And I am thrilled we had the opportunity to partner on such an important topic. Collaboration is the key to our work at @globalreportingcentre.org.

Railway tracks in B.C. sit far from public view, and that’s one reason many people have no idea how often trains kill wildlife. Weak reporting from rail companies keep the scale of these strikes out of sight. Read the latest investigation in @thenarwhal.ca. projects.thenarwhal.ca/collision-co...

GRC collaborator Robert Cribb on finding new ways to produce the kind of journalism our communities, our friends and families, and our country need. globalreportingcentre.org/newsletter/i...

Millions of Haitian feeling violence in their country turn to the Dominican Republic, hoping to find refuge and work. But as fellows from the Global Reporting Program discovered, they’re met with racism and violence instead.

Canada's National Pain Awareness Week is coming to a close — a week meant to raise awareness of chronic pain and its impacts. We're resharing 'Freedom from Pain,' a documentary by the Global Reporting Program, produced in partnership with Al Jazeera. bit.ly/4nmoUr

What happens when critical infrastructure is carved up and sold off to investors? A new investigation looks at how these firms are capturing our rail networks and prioritizing profits — often at the expense of safety @cnsmd.bsky.social cnsmaryland.org/2025/10/29/p...

Thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday for an artist-led walking tour of 'Ripples,' a series of billboards that show supply chain data represented as public art. It was heartening to see members of the public interacting with Gavin Fridell's research and Sydney Hart's artist interpretation.

My take on why Canada needs to ramp up green steel and iron, if it wants to truly be a clean energy "superpower." Reflecting on an impressive report by @jonasalgers.bsky.social and @chrisbataille.bsky.social on "Strategic decarbonisation of the Canadian iron and steel industry."

These digital collages depict data about the environmental impact of global trade. This Saturday, learn more about the latest GRC project during an artist-led walking tour along Vancouver's Arbutus Greenway. 👉 More info: bit.ly/4htyXcW

Been learning so much from the panels at #ptg2025. First one today on how sports are used as leverage for geopolitical influence has been fascinating. Steff Ndei, a current PhD candidate at @heriotwattuni.bsky.social, dove into Chinese investment in sports infrastructure in African states.

The GRC's @andreacrossan.bsky.social and @sharonnadeem.bsky.social are currently in Finland for the @playthegame-org.bsky.social conference, an initiative by the Danish Institute for Sports Studies that promotes democratic values in world sports. www.playthegame.org

Artists, academics, and the city are coming together to bring you ‘Ripples,’ a billboard art project by artist Sydney Hart, curator Christine D’Onofrio, researcher @gavinfridell.bsky.social, and the Global Reporting Centre. Don’t miss the walking tour on Oct 25th! bit.ly/48uUY8x

It has been 10 years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its final reports on the history of residential schools in Canada and issued 94 Calls to Action. bit.ly/4pNiDaB

Really excited to see Sydney's provocative work out!

Sorry I missed this! Thank you for the fellowship and for your kindness & support. There is a persistent habit by mainstream media to dominate space/stories, even to obliterate or write over Indigenous ppls existence. These stories are important.

NEW! In the latest State of Play episode, hear from El Jones, @nkalamb.bsky.social, and Charlotte Phillips as they discuss the events leading to Tennis Canada’s decision to close the Davis Cup matches to fans. Hosted by @sharonnadeem.bsky.social. 🎧 bit.ly/4pAxaX1

From cycling to soccer to tennis, fans, athletes and scholars have been pushing to suspend Israel from global sporting events. Listen to the latest episode from me for the @globalreportingcentre.org on this growing movement in sports and why it's become an arena for resistance against genocide 👇

Today is #PeaceDay. It's paramount to protect journalists reporting from conflict zones, particularly in Gaza. We echo the calls of @pressfreedom.bsky.social, @rsf.org, & @cjjpmedia.bsky.social to demand their safety and condemn Israel's blatant killing of journalists. bit.ly/47BA6Mt

After nearly two years of the Israel-Gaza war, a myriad of global grassroots movements are springing up to call for an end to Israel's attempts to sportswash its genocide in Gaza.

A global movement is growing to ban Israel from sports – from cycling to soccer to tennis. In my first episode as host, I explore how sports have become a flashpoint for protest, looking at past sporting boycotts — and if they can be effective today.

🎾 NEW: In Halifax, the Canada vs Israel Davis Cup matches were played in total silence — no fans, no media. In a special episode of State of Play, hear how protests, boycott calls & sportswashing collided at this match. 🎧: globalreportingcentre.org/state-of-pla... #DavisCup #StateOfPlay
