A couple of Canadian journalists (myself included) have started a fundraiser for local Tumbler Ridge journalist Trent Ernst. Since the shooting, he's stopped writing. We're hoping to get him some short-term support for these hard times.

Heartbreaking to read these reflections from Tumbler Ridge local newsman Trent Ernst. All strength to him as the town he reports in & on daily enters the global spotlight. You can support his hyperlocal journalism (which is so vital and so lacking) here: tumblerridgelines.com/suppor…

I had the honour of meeting Cuban opposition leader José Daniel Ferrer at the Cuban Museum today in Miami.
For speaking out for human rights, he has been imprisoned and tortured by the Cuban regime — yet he continues to fight. (1/2) @jdanielferrer

He showed me the constant stream of messages he receives from people still on the island: hunger, blackouts, medicine shortages. Real people, real suffering, happening now.
Thank you, José, for your courage and for refusing to stop fighting for a free Cuba. #cuba #cubalibre

Tuve el honor de conocer al líder opositor cubano @jdanielferrer en @thecubanmuseum, en Miami. Por alzar la voz en defensa de los derechos humanos, ha sido encarcelado y torturado por el régimen cubano — y aun así, sigue luchando. (1/2) #CubaNoEstáSola #Cuba #cubalibre

Me mostró el flujo constante de mensajes que recibe de personas que aún permanecen en la isla: hambre, apagones, escasez de medicinas. Personas reales, sufrimiento real, ocurriendo ahora mismo.
Gracias, José, por tu valentía y por negarte a dejar de luchar por una Cuba libre.

On this week's episode of Next Question, I caught up with former CTV news anchor @LisaLaFlamme_ about the challenges we've both faced as broadcasters, the unequal pressures on women in the workforce, and how her decision to go gray impacted her career.

"I believe our profession would benefit from listening more to the public and from talking less at the public, as if we knew it all. I believe we should be more impressed with what we don’t know than with what we know — or think we know." washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
