Never forget that 2020 was the year that Black, Indigenous and otherwise racialized journalists in Canada stopped whispering and said it all out loud. In the order that I remember:
"Objectivity is a privilege afforded to white journalists," @Pacinthe on her time at CBC thewalrus.ca/objectivity-is…
Imani Walker, while still at the CBC, takes on one of its biggest names cbc.ca/news/canada/we…

"Black Canadian voices are more visible now than ever — but will corporations act before this month’s motivation wanes?" @MorganPCampbell on his time at the Star thestar.com/opinion/contri…

A few I remembered: @DesmondCole's BESTSELLER, The Skin We're In, details how he stood up to the Star years ago. A groundbreaking bridge burner 🤣😍 penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/536075/t…
Rex Murphy writes nonsense, @VanmalaS writes scorching rebuttal, a really brave thing to do when the newsroom you're criticizing is your workplace. (She left not too long afterward, congrats again!) google.com/amp/s/national…
