This was @donya_z's last week @cbcradio. It's a big loss for the public broadcaster, and a major win for @CanadiansOrg, where she'll start work soon.
Donya was a colleague at The Sunday Edition, hosted by Michael Enright, and stayed (after I left) to work on @CBCSunday. 1/5

She produced memorable documentaries about Canadians who abandoned their PhDs; about others who earned their PhD late in life; and about the medical trend of egg freezing.
She created hour-long specials, such as one about the 40th anniversary of the Iranian Revolution. 2/5

Donya pitched interview guests who were provocative, many of whom had never been on the CBC. She worked on stories that mattered, that would help create a better society and make Canada a better country.
She is whip-smart, industrious, courageous, and a superb writer. 3/5

Even though Donya was a temporary employee for most of her years at the CBC, with no job security, she bravely stood up for the rights of all who have precarious work. About 1/4 of the CBC's journalists don't know whether they'll have a job next month, next week or tomorrow. 4/5
This should have been said at the end of @CBCSunday this morning. Not only was there no farewell or acknowledgement of Donya's contribution, but her name was dropped from the credits.
No class.
This thread is a small effort to give Donya the kudos and thanks she deserves. 5/5
