ICYMI: Here's a piece about being out of the closet for longer than I was ever in it; about growing up queer in the 90s; and about the power of Nanette, @Hannahgadsby's clarion call ottawacitizen.com/opinion/column… #canqueer #ottnews

Very pleased to be in Oklahoma City this week for the JETREG #OnSacredGround2024 conference where @cbcdaveseglins is introducing his new Trauma-Aware Journalism toolkit. Cc @journalismforum @DartCenter

Huge congrats to @cbcdaveseglins and his partners on delivering this important project.

The Trauma Aware Journalism Toolkit is available at traumaawarejournalism.org It’s a tremendous contribution to the ongoing and growing conversation on how to improve trauma coverage and also take care of the journalists assigned to the task.

Really great to be at @caj conference in Toronto, where my friend and colleague @cbcdaveseglins is officially launching his new project Trauma Aware Journalism; A News Industry Toolkit. Produced in partnership with @DartCenter @journalismforum @CBCNews

I marked #WorldPressFreedomDay2024 in Thailand this year. Learn more here: carleton.ca/sjc/2024/pears… #JournalismIsNotACrime

Found another person from Canada: @gabrielaper is repping @MRUJournalism while I’m here waving the @JSchool_CU flag. Great to connect!
