Bell Media is hiring 'multi-skilled journalists' in the same cities where they just laid off national reporters and camera op/editors. They're looking for one person to do it all (edit, produce, report and shoot stories) for the network. Likely for much, much less pay. #cdnmedia

The lack of #BIPOC columnists in Canadian mainstream media is a problem & has a profound effect on the discourse. 10 yrs. ago I asked a prominent columnist to explain the relative absence of BIPOC writers from his paper. He insisted they were hard to find...Little has changed.

In defense of democracy. Listening to this is after a difficult week of cuts at CTV News. @LisaLaFlamme on CBC Radio's Ideas with Nahlah Ayed

Coming in hot. The PM is 'pretty pissed off' about the Bell layoffs yesterday. So are many Canadians.

Now more than ever we need journalism and journalists. Hollowing out media is bad for community. It's devastating for a thriving democracy. 'Let's Talk' about that!

To all my fellow journos facing layoffs my heart goes out to you. Been there.

1. Breathe
2. Your title doesn’t define you
3. Take some time to really consider your unique and vital skillsets
4. Think outside the box

Everyone needs storytellers, you choose the next chapter ✍🏽

We are absolutely dejected to witness the steady stream of excellent journalists losing their jobs today Bell.

We want to acknowledge the incredible, vital work our colleagues perform every day to keep Canadians informed.

When journalism jobs are lost, it affects us all.
