Today I started a 21-day hunger strike to support my dear friend Alaa Abd -el-Fattah, still in prison in Egypt. His 68-yo mum is also striking. She hasn’t eaten for 113 days. We are outside Downing St each day demanding the Brit Govt do more to help one of their own.

I owe Alaa Abd el-Fattah my life, which is why I am going on a hunger strike to help free him. My piece in today’s Guardian. #freeAlaa https://t.co/xJJETQxkRj

"They will do everything to undermine public confidence in the press and to undermine its economic sustainability". Donald Trump has threatened more lawsuits against the media. @PostBaron tells me "they are salivating for the opportunity to prosecute journalists."

[ink-stained wretches @InkStainedCamp]

🤔"...life in a news desert: more political corruption, higher taxes, lower bond ratings, greater social alienation and rising misinformation, as well as the loss of social cohesion when subjects such as high school sports, local obits and community projects aren’t covered."

[MediaPolicy.ca @howardalaw]

In news deserts, Trump won in a landslide. Is there a cause and effect? #Cdnmedia https://t.co/oFNagAyI6I

[World Press Freedom Canada @CDN_WPF]

Threats against the lives of Canadian journalists are real and indisputable. We're pleased to politicians speaking out about it, but we'd like to see these words turn into action: https://t.co/dDWLmF0MVQ #polcan #qcpoli #cdnpoli

Too much fun not to share: this clip of former #CBC executive Richard Stursberg commenting on journalistic bias at Senate Committee. https://t.co/JS0gdu3gER

Kudos to @WabKinew for starting this crucial conversation.

Elected leaders have a duty to ensure that a vital institution for a healthy democracy — #LocalJournalism — survives & thrives.
