🧵We are alarmed at the persistent and escalating patterns of harassment and intimidation directed towards Canadian journalists who dare to report on contentious topics in the public interest.

One recent example occurred this past weekend with journalist @atRachelGilmore. (1/5)
During the interaction, which has since been shared widely on social media, Gilmore was urged to disclose the identities of sources she had been in contact with for recent reporting. (2/5)
This demand was unwarranted and would breach basic journalistic ethical practices related to source protection.

Being publicly harassed is not part of a journalist’s job description - ever. Full stop. (3/5)
We recognize @atRachelGilmore isn't the only journalist facing this kind of treatment while out in the field - or online.

CAJ members who are concerned about their safety should consult our resources on harassment: . (4/5)caj.ca/advocacy/onlin…
We also have an emergency support fund for journalists in need: (5/5)

Please reach out to admin@caj.ca for help - anytime! ❤️caj.ca/advocacy/emerg…

For its years-long efforts to obstruct public access to information about plans to build a $400-million glass factory in the community, Stratford City Council “wins” the 2021 #CodeofSilenceAward in the municipal category: caj.ca/blog/Much_ado_… 🏆 Image
For more than two years, city council circumvented basic transparency measures as it held secret in-camera meetings and failed to properly report discussions and planning undertaken with Xinyi Canada Glass: nationalobserver.com/2021/06/11/new…
According to the award submission, the city demanded $8,850 for one FOI request. In another, the city declared no records were found. A third request was told that a study commissioned by the city was confidential because it was given to the city solicitor:stratfordbeaconherald.com/news/local-new…

“They don’t just see us as hacks or liars, which is really bog standard these days; they see us as part of this conspiracy to lie to them about the vaccines, and lie about what’s really going on.” @Justin_Ling twitter.com/i/spaces/1rmxP…
On the difficulty this hate and suspicion presents to reporting practices: “How the hell can I request comment from someone who thinks I should be summarily arrested and put in prison?” @Justin_Ling
"One interesting thing I've seen in the crowd is other people in that crowd intervening and trying to bring the temperature down. ... When you start talking to [people calling you "fake news"], it becomes a reasonable conversation." @MercedesGlobal

Hello friends! Freelance photojournalist and accidental labour organizer, @photobracken here to tell you just how not good it’s been for photographers *gestures broadly at everything* esp freelancers, and what we are doing about it over at @PhotojsUnited.
It’s no news to say the news industry is struggling, but bear with me while I attempt to summarize why photojournalism is especially in crisis–it’s an inherently risky job that’s getting riskier, and most of us are freelancers who are totally unrepresented in the labour market.
We are losing photojournalists and it's terrifying bc, to echo @kassijackson_, photojournalists ARE journalists. It’s a specialized skill set that’s not easily replaced. Our work connects to the human experience, is guided by ethics and grounded in fact.

In the wake of the arbitration decision in the matter of CBC vs. Ahmar Khan, the CAJ calls on all newsrooms to guarantee that journalists can discuss and report on race and racism without reasonable fear of censure or repercussion.

Our statement: caj.ca/blog/It_is_eve… Image
The CAJ is asking newsrooms to make 3 commitments:

1) Fill out the CAJ's diversity survey: caj.ca/diversitysurvey
2) Review internal journalism policies to ensure they are not disproportionately enforced against JOCs
3) Change the way staff concerns about racism are dealt with Image
Canadian journalism has a race problem.

In recent months we've heard this from many journalists of colour including @Pacinthe @balkissoon @Kayla_Grey @alleywilson_ @imani_walker_ @supriyadwivedi @KathleenNB.

The onus to fix this issue in Canadian media is not just up to them.
