Thread: I am going to get off Twitter for a bit because these violent events trigger me. I've watched classmates compare the Quebec City mosque shooting to 9/11 when discussing media coverage of the former. Here's a guide for journalists/newsrooms covering the attack in #lndont.
1. Do not give a platform to white folks talking about hate in Canada, debating whether this is terrorism or a hate crime. Muslims don't want not-so-hot, hot takes when people are suffering.
2. Speak to the communities affected by this. We don't want an entire story on what politicians have to say about this, particularly those who have denied the presence of Islamophobia in Canada or who have not addressed it in their ridings.
