I have questions regarding Rogers's dismissal of Tina Yazdani

CityNews owe their viewers an explanation as to why Tina Yazdani was fired, and why two of her stories criticizing the Ford government were deleted.

Tina has a distinguished track record of holding Doug Ford accountable and her firing weakens our democracy.

On the left: a photo of a woman with blonde hair smiling at the camera while standing in front of a leafy background. On the right: text that reads ““The cruelty right now Is norrific”: A veteran reporter recalls her most challenging assignments. Michelle Shephard has written from Guantánamo, Somalia, and Sudan. How does she cope with the violence she uncovers?.”

“It’s not my pain; it’s their pain.”

Michelle Shephard opens up to Nathan Whitlock about the weight of reporting everywhere—from refugee camps in Sudan to the cells of Guantánamo—and why she refuses to let these stories vanish into the void: https://ow.ly/qBB150YynIv

A British correspondent for Russian Television was targeted by an Israeli air strike yesterday.

This continues the pattern we have seen for the last two years of IDF forces committing war crimes specifically targeting journalists.

Gamblers trying to win a bet on Polymarket are vowing to kill me if I don’t rewrite an Iran missile story Bettors are using death threats to try to get The Times of Israel's military correspondent to change his report on a missile impact in central Israel. This is his alarming account

“86 minutes left. You are the only one responsible for your life.”

--A journalist faced death threats from Polymarket gamblers, after his reporting decided a bet.

These type of wagers must be outlawed before more journalists are put at risk.

This is an unacceptable headline for Canadian media in 2026.

Israeli military have consistently lied about their war crimes & they have killed dozens of journalists.

Using IDF statements as headlines, undermines the credibility of a media outlet. IDF are not a credible source.

Last week, Canadian journalist Rachel Gilmore was approached by 2 men (one a SELF-DESCRIBED NAZI) who attempted to intimidate her over a story she wrote about their white nationalist gym club.

We stand in solidarity with Rachel & call on all news organizations to denounce this! ✊

Journalist Estefany Rodriguez has a valid work permit and was meeting with ICE later this month regarding her immigration status.

Yesterday, she was abducted by ICE agents without an arrest warrant.

This is another attack on the free press and we call for Estefany's immediate release!

A new study from @readthemaple.com shows that Canadian media have a 25-year history of claiming Iran is close to acquiring nuclear weapons.

This is important context for the current American-Israeli attack on Iran and our media's response.
