Good morning! Today is Ryerson University’s 2020 #AtkinsonLecture, to be delivered at 11 a.m. by @Chatelaine Executive Editor @balkissoon. I’ll be live tweeting the speech so watch this space... https://www.ryerson.ca/journalism/news-events/2020/09/objectivity-trust-and-truth-in-an-age-of-disinformation/">https://www.ryerson.ca/journalis...

And we& #39;re off! @balkissoon begins with recounting Chatelaine& #39;s history, citing former editor Doris Anderson who gave "space to female journalists" during a time when that was uncommon in Canadian media

A former staff columnist and editor at the Globe and Mail, @balkissoon left the paper in 2019. You can read about her experiences with racism in Canadian newsrooms here: https://www.chatelaine.com/opinion/racism-at-work/">https://www.chatelaine.com/opinion/r...

Speaking about the impossible standards of objectivity in Canadian media, @balkissoon cites this @walrusmagazine article by @Pacinthe as an example of a journalist who was told that she "just can& #39;t be objective" https://thewalrus.ca/objectivity-is-a-privilege-afforded-to-white-journalists/">https://thewalrus.ca/objectivi...
