🧵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)

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…

“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

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.

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
