We dug into 400+ recommendations stemming from dozens of maternal and neonatal deaths in Ontario and found troubling echoes: The health system isn't learning its lessons when it comes to childbirth tragedies. https://t.co/dutCuSXlMk

U.S. nursing homes are fabricating schizophrenia diagnoses to hide their use of dangerous antipsychotic drugs to subdue dementia patients, a government watchdog report found.

The drugs increase risk of falls, strokes and death. https://t.co/6SkzWxZfSz

Across Canada, politicians are betting you don't care about restricting access to information.

Prove them wrong.

Some 25 Israeli principals and teachers have suffered sanctions for speaking out against the war.

Freedom of expression is shrinking, and Israel is increasingly resembling a grotesque dictatorship. The case of Yael Levkovitz is a warning sign

Following the deadliest year on record for the press in 2024, CPJ asked Palestinian journalist and past awardee Shrouq Al Aila to reflect on her experience reporting from Gaza since October 7, 2023.

Unable to leave Gaza, Al Aila’s remarks were read at CPJ’s 2025 International Press Freedom Awards by Jon Williams, Fadi Mansour, Yesica Fisch, Humeyra Pamuk, and Rula Jebreal.

“When the genocide began to subside, I felt something inside me rekindle — a quiet but certain faith in the power of journalism,” wrote Al Aila. “My colleagues and I are waiting now, with our cameras and our words, to document Gaza as it rises once again from the ruins, stronger, more beautiful, and unbroken.”

"Donald Trump’s claims that Mohammed bin Salman knew nothing about the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi directly contradict a CIA report concluding the crown prince approved it. This deliberate whitewashing of the past — alongside an attempt to blame the victim — marks a new low for an administration that shows at every turn how little regard it has for truth or the free press. Trump's remark that 'things happen' and that 'a lot of people didn’t like' Khashoggi echoes the president’s broader efforts to minimize and justify attacks on the press." — @CPJMENA Regional Director Sara Qudah

Trump said on Tuesday that broadcasting licenses used by affiliates ABC should be "taken away" after he disagreed with a question posed by a reporter for the network. "I think the license should be taken away from ABC, because your news is so fake and it's so wrong," Trump said.

Thrilled to be joining @UofT_ijb. Investigative journalism, active journalism, is more important than ever. Cannot wait to make some trouble with this small, mighty team.

Canada today joined the ranks of Trump and Starmer in cutting foreign aid -- at a time when humanitarian agencies are already desperate.
It announces $2.7-billion in aid cuts over the next 4 years.

At the end of the day I'm not sure how much difference it makes. But it is striking to put out a budget that axes a luxury tax on yachts and adds a co-pay for refugee claimants accessing drugs and dental care.
