Prepped this graphic
And realized lots of young journos will never know the unique thrill of rushing to file for the noon news
Or dream of one day being a W5 correspondent
I may or may not be talking about me and may or may not have shed a tear or several

Truly stop with the paywall complaints. There are fewer and fewer and fewer places out there doing original journalism. Subscribe and support your favs or they'll be gone.
We are absolutely dejected to witness the steady stream of excellent journalists losing their jobs today @Bell.
We want to acknowledge the incredible, vital work our colleagues perform every day to keep Canadians informed.
When journalism jobs are lost, it affects us all.

Decathletes are often described as the greatest all-round athletes in the world and today, 2 Canadians are best decathletes in the world. That's not all athletes from this country did at the World Championships. So much talent and hard work. Oh Canada! cbc.ca/sports/olympics/summe…

Really glad that, during #ismrc23, I can share my latest research article, now published with Journal of Religion, Media and Digital Culture.
The title is a good summary: "What style guides tell secular journalists about Muslims and Islam." #OpenAccess brill.com/view/journals/rmdc…

Sure: women are in newsrooms, are the majority J- school students but “no overall trend toward gender parity among newsroom leaders” @risj_oxford AND:alarming online hate, death threats & vile treatment of women. 🙏@atRachelGilmore Hard to say “Happy #IWD2023 “

Are you a Doctoral Student at the thesis research or writing stage? Interested in studying media and religion. Consider applying for the ISMRC 2023 Doctoral Colloquium to be held in Bochum, Germany right before our bi-annual conference!

Canada not looking good here ...
Canada is the country where most female journalists were exposed to organized troll campaigns this year. Turkey & USA followed Canada. Let's get this clear. #Womenjournos shouldn't be harassed because of their gender. Gender is never a reason for online violence. 🧵

Mr. Lecce, who was already making 6 figures, got a 10% raise in 2020, and receives a nearly $30,000/year housing allowance.
Education workers in Ontario make on average $39,000 a year. The majority need 2+ jobs to pay the bills. #39KIsNotEnough #onted #ontedsolidarity
With CUPE demanding annual increases in pay of 11.7% a year, there was never going to be a deal.
Here are some facts on who makes what, you can even click through to their contracts. The lowest paid work part-time for part of the year.

He was a talented and thoughtful young man. It was wonderful watching him flourish after graduation. I’m heartbroken for his friends and family. 💞

Enough is enough. Online hate against journalists must be addressed.
Today, the CAJ, @TorontoStar @TheHillTimes & @globalnews sent a list of demands to
- @TorontoPolice, @OttawaPolice & @rcmpgrcpolice
- 4 federal ministers & Ontario's attorney general
Here's what we want🧵

I know it annoys some people, but I love our country. In America, that sound in the background could be gunfire. Here? The Benny Hill Theme Tune.

The Toronto Star is hiring for our year long internships starting in September. This is the program that helped launch the careers of many Canadian journalists. I was part of the 2003 cohort. Come join us. jobs.smartrecruiters.com/Tor…

Will any bishops ban politicians who don't support gun control laws from receiving Communion? We protect the lives of the unborn. How about, as Pope Francis said, "those already born"? #Uvalde

Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if
