"A lot of people today — young people — they don't turn [on] the TV to watch the news. They go on social media, they go on TikTok, they go on Instagram to see what's happening in the world." How j-schools in Canada are dealing with change: cbc.ca/news/canada/journalis…

The full effects of the AR-15's catastrophic force in mass killings are rarely seen in public. To assess the extent of the destruction, The Post examined thousands of photos and videos and identified parallels across 11 mass shootings between 2012 and 2023. The graphic pictures and personal accounts in this story may be disturbing. wapo.st/3G45LHk

Some of my favourite videos have been on topics you hear about from friends but don’t often see reflected in the news, such as this explainer from @ashleymfraser on the debate around Aritzia’s mirrorless fitting rooms.

"Six months after CBC scaled back its use of X, the public broadcaster says it will mostly remain off the platform because it doesn't bring in a lot of traffic. 'Among our social media platforms, X is among the smallest sources of traffic.'" thecanadianpressnews.ca/busi…
