A #cdnmedia Thread:

So I started analyzing some Canadian journalists tweets.

1 point for every Trudeau/Tofino tweet

1 point for every tweet of Indigenous story or Truth/Reconciliation

1/? #cdnpoli #cdnmediafailed

Starting date of analyzing twitter feed: September 25th 2021

Ending date of analyzing Twitter feed: October 6th 2021

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation: October 1st.

Starting with Robyn Urback, (who's gotten some social media flack for her recent tweets)

Trudeau/Tofino: 3 tweets

Indigenous Issues: 0 tweets

3/? #cdnmedia #cdnmediafailed

Next up, Toronto Suns Brian Lilley:

Trudeau/Tofino: 41 tweets 😱

Indigenous Issues: 10 tweets

4/? #cdnmedia

Now over to Bryan Passifiume, who broke the Trudeau/Tofino story:

Trudeau/Tofino: 37 tweets

Indigenous Issues: 8 tweets

Dang. David Akin tweets a lot. He started off well with regards to tweets surrounding Indigenous stories and issues, but the wheels fell off when the story became about Trudeau.

Trudeau/Tofino: 23 tweets

Indigenous Issues: 30 tweets

7/? #cdnmedia #cdnpoli

Tweets that are about Indigenous leaders calling out Trudeau/Tofino get counted as Indigenous issues tweets. Just for clarification.

I'm only 4 journalists/columnists in, but I should say, even though I can often disagree with him, at least @davidakin kept his twitter feed fairly balanced.

I hope to see more Indigenous issues tweeted throughout the year.
