@gathara re your call in @NiemanLab for “global
ethics code” - I argue here https://t.co/Zcl0h1QvaA that minimum standards (slightly!) more attainable but same reasoning

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

In some of the world’s healthiest democracies, news audiences continue to respect truthful news reporting, to expect meaningful journalistic accountability, and, yes, even to pay for online news, writes @ivorshap. Can we achieve the same in Canada?

Absolutely devastating and horrific. Another journalist killed by Israel while doing their job. Where is the global media outcry?

I’m a Jew and I feel pretty safe.

Two things make me feel unsafe:

1. The sadistic unending murder of Palestinian civilians by Israel, supported by US,UK, Canada etc.

2. The attacks from other Jews, meant to silence me (and everyone).

Those 2 things stop, I feel 100% safer.

Such an excellent collaboration between the @TheBreachMedia and @ReviewofJourn. This is the kind of work we need to see in media analysis.

“.. invest in the kind of journalism that earns trust in the hardest and most recognizable way—through consistent and transparent original gathering and transparent checking of actual facts on matters of clear public interest…” https://t.co/wSkjNXDp89

Trust in “the media” is failing. But countries like Norway have found a way to keep it strong. Can Canada do the same?

Journalism is holding the powerful to account. That includes journalists. Something to say about this from @ivorshap https://t.co/GWHBPsrR1P

@ShenazKermalli “…possible to condemn atrocious attacks of terrorism and support right to live free of occupation… [Most] demonstrators not celebrating murders … terror and occupation inflict devastating losses… until we empathize, … remain trapped in endless cycle of hate and violence.”

"What red-hot words seldom achieve is persuasion.
People are less likely to change their minds by force of argument or piled-on evidence than through exposure to one another’s real-life experiences. If you want people to understand you, don’t tell them what you think;
