ICYMI, @spaikin and I talk about the enduring power of city fruit trees @TheAgenda youtube.com/watch?v=sDhFrw…

@JeannieLee88 Warn him how hard it is on the cuticles.

Hoo boy wait until he finds out about "the rolodex" and how old-timey journos would keep it updated by picking up "the telephone" and calling up contacts And how often those actual "voice chats" would launch new stories on the "linear news" or in "the newspaper"

@ConsumerSOS To public perceptions.

@ConsumerSOS What a difference that coverage made.

The TV piece by colleague + veteran Global News crime reporter Catherine McDonald. She covered the trial start to finish—a window into the justice system. Professional journalists do this in courts, at city councils, on the street. Story linked. youtu.be/Eu7p7ZbNsss?si…

Professional media training makes answers clearer while delivering a point of view. Who trained these trainers? Not my colleagues @HumberMediaArts

Tiny forests might get more people thinking about urban trees. That's a benefit, but they may not always be a solution. @todd_irvine makes some good points in this piece. cbc.ca/news/climate/t…

@JeannieLee88 You should connect with @joshnamaharaj and learn about Take Back the Tray. It looks like your crew could use some help. Also sorry for your troubles.

For better or for worse For richer or for poorer For fancy food or for hospital goo 🙄 #HappyValentine

@_scottreid Right on.

I spend a lot of time at Bellmedia on TV/Radio. You have no idea how punishing days like this are. So many good people will be out the door. And it will be that much harder to deliver great, trusted news. Those who sneer about 'lamestream' media do not get what is being lost.

@AidanSimardone And...

This past month I’ve been asked if I’m Palestinian, Romania and Armenian Folks, I’m Italian

You might as well be in class today. It's cozy inside. @HumberMediaArts

@Kathleen_Wynne @EMcMahon_TCT @spaikin No one said anything in the pool because they thought the inside out bathing suit was a statement. I'm thinking of trying it out. You may be on to something. Keep em guessing.

@spaikin Thanks for the feedback @spaikin !

This is one of the best/funniest/most meaningful essays from an ex-politician I've ever read: airquotesmedia.com/quotes/falling… @Kathleen_Wynne #onpoli #aging

You never know where you'll find the @CanadianPress style book pop up. #HumberPR @HumberMediaArts

@BookCityTO where and when?

So… we have a little book club coming. Would you be interested in following select titles every month or fortnight? Let us know!

@spaikin @cityoftoronto @Toronto Significant, yes, but they weren't all anglo-saxon before him. There were a couple from Scotland and Ireland.

I suspect most of us, who live in the @cityoftoronto, know where Nathan Phillips Square is. But do you know who it's named after? This guy. He was mayor of Toronto from 1955-62 and as a Jew, was the first non-WASP ever to hold the job. He died 48 years ago today. #topoli

@FoleyRobyn Sorry to hear, Robyn, but good for you.

It's the end of another semester and my teaching career. Finishing up with this talented group of Advanced Radio journalists and thinking about all the students I have had the privilege of teaching over the past 12 years. #Humber #retirement

@spaikin @cityofhamilton @Ticats @UofT @McMasterU @MountAllison @OntHumanRights @AECL_EACL @H_P_O @CFL @BlueJays @HamMusicCollect @WesternU @CanadianBrass @MapleLeafs @thedailymartins Beautifully written piece on a remarkable woman. So sorry to hear of her passing.

The most impressive person I have ever known: obituaries.thespec.com/obituary/marin… @cityofhamilton @Ticats @UofT @McMasterU @MountAllison @OntHumanRights @AECL_EACL @H_P_O @CFL @BlueJays @HamMusicCollect @WesternU @CanadianBrass @MapleLeafs @thedailymartins

@AidanSimardone Go, Aidan! Nice representation.

Apparently this video of me is blowing up on Icelandic TikTok 🇮🇸

@genna_buck Make sense of this one for me. From journos no less. newswire.ca/news-releases/…

@SimonDingleyTV Nice work! And you still have the flashes. Some of those are collectors' items.

42 years. #CdnMedia #News.

If ChatGPT were a prof. First week curiosities. @HumberMediaArts @HumberJSchool

After a gr8 deal of thought & the reality I have been a political reporter (photo: Summer '67) for a elon time, I have decided I musk move on and will stop filing to X. Very much appreciate ur support, encouragement & even criticism over those almost 56 yrs. #farewell
