And now for some personal news...
(quite a few different pieces to this so I'll try to be clear and concise but it'll be a few tweets at least; the last one possibly my last - thanks Elon)

Yesterday was my last day at @NatObserver.

One issue: @TVO_CMG members have had below-inflation raises — incl. 3 years of 0% raises — for more than 10 years. Now @tvo wants to give us below-inflation increases for another 3 years. And we’re sorry but we just can’t accept that anymore. #onpoli #FundTVOLikeItMatters

[TVO CMG is at work! @TVO_CMG]

“If we don’t get it, shut it down!”

Our journalists and educators walked off the job this morning. We are on strike, demanding fair wages and an end to precarious work.

TVO is a critical part of our education & public media in ON. TVO Kids, reporting, documentaries, & more are vital to our discourse & democracy. This Conservative gov seems more interested in helping their friends than supporting public workers & Ontarians. #FundTVOLikeItMatters

Do I want to be the story? No.

Am I willing to work for another pay cut after a decade of below inflation wage increase?
Also no. 😐 https://t.co/UBmXUCqnfO

And finally, to Twitter I say, so long and thanks for all the fish.

And if you are free tomorrow afternoon, come to Sojourn's inaugural event, a conversation with cowboy journalist @filipemasetti!

I am glad this type of reporting exists and sad to see it go. I wish @jwsthomson and the other affected staff at Capital Daily all the best with their next steps and solidarity with @OMGuild_. ✊

Now can we find a way to fix the biz model for journalism, please?

This piece by @EthanCoxMtl of @ricochet_en about what's happening at @OverstoryMedia (owners of @CapitalDailyVic) is everything.

I was one of the judges for last year's @caj awards that chose 'The Man Who Stole A Hotel' as the top entry in the community reporting category, and was blown away by the depth of reporting and storytelling coming out of an tiny upstart newsroom.
