The Importance of Networking
Tonight, featuring Carol Penhale on #EmpoweredCA at 7:30pm EST, on The News Forum channel. 

Networking. We all know what we have to do in order to advance in our careers.
Men actually treat networking like a job.  But, what about women? #networking

‘Useless and overpaid’ lobbyists sure are keeping Pierre Poilievre’s calendar busy theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

They use one of the machines we used in my first journalism job (the Tandy) as an example of ancient computers at Yale's Peabody Museum.

Mother's Day 2024 😋

According to my six year old, this is what I do for a living. #accurate #MothersDay

Thank you for reading my work.

They can blacklist me. I didn't get into journalism to be popular. Tim Avery, one of my first mentors in journalism, offered me this valuable advice: 'Illegitimi non carborundum.'

A cœur vaillant rien d'impossible

I agree. It does a disservice to readers when biz journos function as stenographers. We need to stop favouring access journalism over accountability journalism. Newsrooms should value curiousity over conformity. We should adopt an int'l sensibility about protecting press freedom.

Canadian biz reporters: Here is a fantastic opportunity to learn from our U.S. colleagues. The American perspective on covering troubled companies is invaluable because the U.S. is the main growth market for Canadian companies. And sometimes they get into trouble. #journalism

Ann Coulter to Vivek: I agreed with you more than any other candidate but I wouldn’t have voted for you because you’re an Indian.

Got to respect racism this pure.

The work Steph Chambers does, always with good cheer no matter how strange or random the request, is indispensable. Thanks for everything, Steph.

And here in Toronto, we are still waiting for the Eglinton LRT or even a streetcar that will take me from Dundas West to Broadview without short turning.

Really important reporting thanks to Tim Kiladze, Rita Trichur & James Bradshaw. Criminals have figured out that 🇨🇦 banks can’t keep up. Let’s turn this problem into an opportunity by empowering Canadian innovators to solve it! #CompetitionMatters
