Vulnerable communities are being targeted by right-wing, bad faith personalities in the wake of a national tragedy.
Media can ensure they’re following best practices & avoid stoking an increasingly emboldened hate movement.

INTRODUCING MARIAM SHAKAA – THE HEARTBEAT OF LIVING WITH DRONES
Palestinian oudist, musician, and singer Mariam Shakaa brings her soul-stirring melodies to our live journalism show, setting the emotional tone and guiding us through the journeys of our storysharers and storytellers.
The reality is, most of our audience is on the other website. But given its ownership and the fascism and such, we cannot continue to utilize it in good conscience.
I’d be grateful if you’d support @jsource.bsky.social by following us where we’ll be from now on:
"[Journalists] remain essential watchdogs over powerful interests in society, and—when we work ethically, accurately, and fearlessly—we can improve people’s lives, even as we are sometimes derided for doing so."
RCFP Chairman Stephen J. Adler in @columjournreview.bsky.social:
This is critical data on the harassment and targeting of 384 media workers by Honest Reporting Canada since October 2023. At #CanadaPressFreedomProject we are recording these as chilling statements. This should be a major concern for anyone with a stake in #pressfreedoms in a democracy.
New from @jsource.bsky.social, the first #Documenters project in Canada comes to life. Written and illustrated by Sara Mizannojehdehi
