NEW: The Canadian Press, which the vast majority of Canadian media outlets rely upon for style choices, will continue not using “Palestine” in most cases even after Canada’s recognition of the state.

Here’s what they told me when I asked why...

The Canadian Press Will Continue Not Using ‘Palestine’ In Most Cases
Most Canadian news outlets follow CP’s style guidance, meaning the status quo on “Palestine” may continue.

I have reached out to a wide-range of Canadian media outlets to ask if their approach to using the word “Palestine” will formally change following Canada’s recognition of the State of Palestine. The article should come out this week.

The Maple, along with hundreds of other news outlets, has joined Avaaz and Reporters Without Borders’ campaign to draw attention to the 220+ Palestinian journalists killed by Israel since October 2023.

Gaza has the bravest journalists in the world.

CBC is the only major news outlet that almost never cites our extensive reporting on this.

Other major outlets cited our reporting and only credited us when we asked them to.
