Was a great CJF panel, laying out the challenges of broadcast #journalists V social media & influencers. Influencers are another word for PR people, ready w soft questions that political leaders love. But fact-based #journalism still has its place, will survive, they say. @cjf-fjc.bsky.social

Trump told Trudeau that he wants to redraw the border between the US and Canada because he doesn’t consider the treaty that established it valid. The NYT reports on their phone conversation:

Welp, Canada's finance minister just resigned.
Macron, Trudeau, and Scholz must have a G7 leaders bet going to see who can implode their government most.

Patel spent his time out of the administration doing QAnon podcasts (bugeyedandshameless.com/p/the-x22-report) and promising, should he return to the administration, he would declassify, arrest, and prosecute — all playing into the Q fantasy.
The anons are, unsurprisingly, happy.

There are so many fun and easy ways to beat up on the federal government right now, maybe premiers (if not the likely next PM) could take a pass on the one that involves weakening Ottawa’s ability to deal with Trump’s threats.

Horrendous news that TVO has laid off approximately 20 journalists today. More vandalism by the Ford government.
Just got laid off as editor-in-chief of TVO Today after eight years. Some of my very talented colleagues were also let go. Hire them for all your writing and editing needs. Hire me if they’re unavailable.
More later.
More later.

Thanks to informative panel on combatting news avoidance @cjf-fjc #cjfjtalks #journalismmatters - solutions include more explainers, more community-focused reporting, a less angry, judgmental or sharp tone, & using multiple formats Eg. TicToc @angelapacienza.bsky.social @karynpugliese.bsky.social
