Hi Mr.

I saw you read our story.
Would you be willing to chat about your thoughts related to
#Bitcoin
and the central bank?
You have yet to respond to our multiple interview requests.

Lisa LaFlamme inspired thousands of journalists — especially women — to enter the field, perpetually setting the standard for incredible work.
She has now been let go from CTV at the peak of her career because of what she called a "business decision."

Hey
@TorontoPearson
, last I checked, freedom of the press is still a fundamental right in Canada.
These “guidelines” about what can and cannot be recorded, the 24-hour “notice,” media chaperoning, and picking/choosing which journalists to allow is an obstruction of those rights.

Please note, as many journalists and news organizations on Twitter will lose their “verified” checkmarks in the coming days:
👉Confirm your sources of information, especially before amplifying.
👉Do not trust something because it’s on your homepage.
👉Look for best practices.

He might delete this, but Elon Musk just tweeted a major update about the suspensions, which he claims happened because journalists “doxxed” him.

In addition to a story questioning women’s choice to wear the hijab, the Toronto Star also published a letter to the editor with the headline: “Is the hijab a symbol of religious identity or of gender oppression?”
