The fact these Israeli soldiers are using the utter destruction of Gaza for a selfie is ghastly. More significant, though, is the image's candidness and the fact the AP photographer, Tsafrir Abayov, captured these aggressors unaware of their inhumane and frivolous act.

A good example why pubs should limit use of handout pics. Too many CAN pubs use HO photos too frequently, with big risks. Harming trust in them and Journalism as a whole. Serious Journalism means hiring trusted photojournalists and experienced photo editors.
Several leading news organizations withdrew a photograph issued by Kensington Palace of Kate, Britain's Princess of Wales, after post-publication analysis showed it did not meet their editorial standards reut.rs/4c9tWCX

Imagine @TheAgenda's episode on Ford's decision to reverse Greenbelt development. And @jm_mcgrath's column(s).
@TVO_CMG journalists are yearning for a fair deal so they can get back to work informing Ontarians.
If only TVO had some money somewhere...

Now do Ontario Place
BREAKING: “It was a mistake to open the Greenbelt,” Premier Doug Ford said, adding that the land opened to development would be returned to the protected area — which he says he will never touch again. #onpoli via @EmmaMci @fatimabsyed thenarwhal.ca/ford-reverses-…

UN special rapporteur denounces Canada's temporary foreign worker program as "breeding ground for contemporary forms of slavery."
This is not about few bad employers, migrant worker programs are *structured* to create mass labour and social exploitation

Good news! So many positive outcomes from this litigation. These benefits extend way beyond trade photojournalism and should never have been allowed to have been clawed back but good on NPPA for fighting in the public interest.
BIG NEWS: The NYPD agrees to historic settlement with 5 photojournalists attacked and arrested in 2020. It also resolves a federal lawsuit brought by @NPPA and nationally recognized law firms.

This. Every weekend i see nthousands of people drive in to Toronto thinking they're going to have a fun time at some event. Instead they
spend hours stuck in maddening traffic on Lakeshore and the Gardiner. Maybe not so fun.
If the publicly-funded half-billion-dollar @ThermeCanada parking lot ever gets built, I hope the people that use it are really patient when it comes time to leave, via a single exit, crossing the Martin Goodman Trail.

🧵Critical reporting via @FawcettAtkinson - one of best ways 🔥 & 🚨agencies can combat mis- & disinfo is let pro journalists have access. Yet in Canada, they often contribute to info vacuums by barring press. The public can’t understand what it can’t see nationalobserver.com/2023/05…

Daily reminder that real change in industry representation —yes diversity, equity and inclusion—requires real investment. Otherwise you’re setting people up for failure in an under resourced, unsustainable market.

This is important. Ontario has withdrawn from 80 year long compromise that is foundation of our system.
It has imposed an even greater restriction on right to strike (complete ban) WHILE also refusing to bargain in good faith.
OLRB Chair asks, is it just "too bad, so sad"?
