Journalists have a legal and ethical obligation to send questions and request comment from our politicians. Going after them for doing their basic duty is unacceptable and dangerous behaviour.

Looking for Indigenous filmmakers/videographers in Southern Alberta! I often get asked to do videography/filmmaking gigs in Southern AB. Most of the time I have to turn them down because I'm so busy. I feel bad for having very few other Indigenous filmmakers I can recommend.

OMNI TV is offering 10 scholarships to journalism students in Canada who speak a language other than English and French. If you know someone who could benefit, pass this on! omnitv.ca/on/en/omni-scholar… #cdnmedia

I grew up in a city where racist violence was once commonplace: Calgary, Alberta. History will repeat itself if we are complacent in the fight against racism. My opinion in today's Calgary Herald: calgaryherald.com/opinion/co… – at Calgary, Alberta

Chahal: Many have suffered from racism in Calgary, but it's time to step up the fight against hate

The loss of @HuffPostCanada and @HuffPostQuebec is a huge blow to an already beaten down news industry in Canada. I’m devastated by this decision.

Well said. If Canada's policy creates a giant cash funnel from big tech to legacy media, that's a loss for journalism and the public.

If Ottawa's goal is to ensure the public gets access to better journalism, we shouldn’t look to Australia's showdown with Big Tech for the answer. @pressforward_ca @globeandmail #cdnmedia #cdnpoli theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Opinion: Canada should be supporting journalism’s future, not its past

The battle in Australia to regulate Big Tech and support journalism outlets ignores the growth and value of independent media

Please read Tom's thread on objectivity in journalism. I learned most of what I know about this field from him and Bill Kovach.
Tom Rosenstiel@TomRosenstiel24 Jun 2020
1... I’m not avid on Twitter, but at others’ urging I want to offer a thread in response to @wesleylowery’s powerful essay in the @nytimes on objectivity, which I liked. But the call for “moral clarity” I believe could use more clarity... Please be patient. This is 1 of 22.

What Fraser Logan, Alberta RCMP’s media relations manager, told @RobertFife on June 5. “During the course of the arrest, Mr. Adam was resisting the members and, unfortunately, to bring the situation under control, the members were required to use force to effect the arrest.”

OK, now I'm mad. The newspaper lobby group that administers the Local Journalism Initiative (LJI) has explained why it barred @sprawlcalgary from eligibility for federal funds. It's worse than I thought. THREAD niemanlab.org/2020/05/in-can… #cdnpoli

In Canada, a government program to support local news tries to determine who’s most deserving

The country's $50 million Local Journalism Initiative is funding more than 160 reporting positions across the country. But critics say that it's subsidizing old media at the expense of new models.

AB Gov’t: “K-12 education funding temporarily adjusted.” Translation: “We’re forcing school boards to lay off thousands of people during a pandemic. And we’re announcing this via a news release on a Saturday.” alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=6…
