Ummm ... We got more than 200 applications for the #CAJMentorship program!!!! Our minds = blown Thank you to everyone who applied and to all our mentors who helped make this such a success. We're looking forward to reading all these applications and making matches... Stay tuned!
The #CAJMentorship program is closing TODAY at 5 pm ET. We know professional development has been hard to come by during the pandemic. So why not learn from 30 of Canada's best journalists? http://caj.ca/mentorship Here's a thread to answer some of the questions we're getting:... Q: What if my membership application isn't approved before deadline? A: Don't worry about it. We manually review all applications so if you sign up for a membership this afternoon it may not be approved before 5 pm. We will consider your mentorship application regardless! Q: Did you get my mentorship application? A: At the bottom of the application you should see a "Submit" button which will take you to a page that says thank you for submitting. Don't see that?

Journalists have certainly become accustomed to additional layers of government obfuscation during the COVID-19 pandemic but this takes the cake. Unaccceptable behaviour from Merrilee Fullerton.

On Oct. 7, reporter Ryan Thorpe was in the process of obtaining a video from a bystander to a police shooting when a Winnipeg Police officer took the phone, preventing the video from being made public. The CAJ condemns this interference and extends open-ended offers to any/all law enforcement groups to explain the critical role of media. The CAJ believes this would be a productive way to address the many recent incidents that have seen journalists be arrested, restrained, or obstructed for doing their jobs.
