The dark side of public visibility: How academic authors perceive and cope with anti-press hostility From Facts&Frictions/Faits&Frictions, a journal about journalism

Study of Canadian academics who venture into writing for the general public finds online threats/abuse they get in return are "leading to self-censorship":

• 19.9% avoid expressing their viewpoints
• 13.4% avoid writing about certain topics
• 26.9% reconsider their "knowledge mobilization efforts"

Helped Carney, who was quiet in French. Ultimately, I think this is a draw.

"There's nothing like these fears to bring Canadian's together." — @dominiquemarshall.bsky.social (@cuhistory.bsky.social) on how worries about annexation have — and continue to — unite our nation. Tonight at 8/11pm with @adambunch.bsky.social and @spaikin.bsky.social #cdnpoli

American manufacturing hasn't been decimated. It has been automated. It's not Canada's fault that people aren't turning wrenches in factories anymore.

It boggles the mind how Premier Smith can take a harder line stance against the prime minister of her own country than the president of an enemy nation.

If she's unsure who is the bigger threat, her advisors have failed all Albertans miserably.

This is fantastic work and greatly appreciated by residents across downtown.

I just hope that all parties to this policy reflect on how they contributed to a policy backlash. These policies can be made stronger by such an exercise and avoid needless harm in the future.

Turns out that Canada has *checks notes* a free trade agreement with the United States recently renegotiated by the previous Trump administration.

Failure to adopt 'Good neighbour' policies, failure to take nearby residents concerns seriously, failure to clean up drug paraphernalia around their sites, failure to do outreach... there are many, many administrative failures here that absolutely rest with site management.

Hopefully, harm reduction activists, researchers, and service providers will reflect on how these policies can be pursued in a way that meets the needs of all community members.

Rebuilding trust with residents and businesses will be a long process, but a necessary one if we're to move forward.

Unfortunately, service providers must also accept some of the blame for this policy change. Their failure to manage the social disorder around their sites led to a sustained backlash from the public.

Ford didn't take these steps in a political vacuum.

True! But when you live by the sword, you should die by it too.

At our last departmental meeting, we had a vigorous discussion about the School's current and future social media presence.

Happy to say, the School has joined Bluesky! Check us out @carletonsppa.bsky.social and take a peek at the SPPA Starter Pack below.

Ontario govt, 15 years ago: We're freezing funding per student.

Colleges and universities: Okay, we'll take in more students to pay our bills.

Ontario govt 8 years ago: We're capping the number of students we fund.

Colleges and universities: Okay, we'll raise tuition to keep up with inflation...

Looking forward to reading this year's entries! Please share with any of our brilliant colleagues who wrote a book this year.

As Trump threatens tariffs against Canada and Mexico, here are five things we know so far On social media Monday, he fired an opening salvo in the global trade war that he has long promised in his second term as U.S. president

Here's an article with a summary of where we are on the threatened 25% US tariff and some hints about what we might do.

Some good ideas in there; some bad.

Let me summarize in a thread.

Begin with 3 facts, then 3 things not to do, then 3 actions items.
