You get to see sports fans interested in an international politics story, and politics readers invested in sports. As someone who wouldn’t call myself a sports fan, this is the type of story that keeps me tuned in to WC2022 coverage. (3/3) ^VM
The ongoing discourse about the championing of LGBTQ+ rights in Qatar during #WorldcupQatar2022 is fascinating to see as a journalism student. (1/?) https://t.co/HmbGMMtQnU
The story spans sports, social issues and international politics, and it’s placement as part of one of the world’s largest sporting events means it draws more attention than a typical international story might. (2/?)

Such a pleasure and honour to talk with the incredible global journalists leading the @GR_Program talking about aging. Bravo guys! #seniors#aging#journalism
So lovely to have @amtremonti join our @GR_Program class last week. Her insights and advice were invaluable! Especially as fellows prepare for their upcoming reporting trip.
One-fifth of the projected global population will be 60+ by 2050; are we prepared? The @GlobalRepCentre follows 4 seniors in Sweden, Finland, South Korea & Canada as they contend with aging. By the fellows at @GR_Program. In partnership with @globeandmail. https://t.co/NhjMu9oPpX
Flooding season can bring bounty but it brings its own climate challenges. Vietnam's Directorate of Water Resources warns Mekong Delta localities of exceptionally high tides and their effects that need to be mitigated. - HM https://t.co/idrFXE4U8B
Flooding season came a bit late this year to the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. Now that it's here, farmers are hard at work switching from cultivating crops to fishing. Check out the photo here! 👇 -HM
Journalism isn't seen the same way around the world. This makes building trust and relationships with sources crucial. @IJNet highlights some important things to remember to help to build and maintain trust. -HM https://t.co/RHeoOMOG6x
The increase is due to climate, less access to financial support from social benefit systems, and fewer children to help out. Some migrants say "a more inclusive climate response strategy could help address many of the problems that push older migrants away in the first place"
Climate change events like droughts, irregular rainfalls, floods, and saltwater intrusion are heavily impacting agricultural crops in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta leading to some farmers moving to urban areas. - HM
It's interesting to see the connections here with GRP's recently published story on aging: there has been an increase in senior migrants according to the most recent national survey on internal migration from 2015 - HM: https://t.co/kdWXVyum0i
