CANADALAND

As the conflict in Gaza and Israel continues to escalate, Pacinthe Mattar sits down with Jonathan to consider the ways in which narratives are shaped, journalists are obstructed, and parameters of discussion get enforced.They also look at the RCMP’s response to photojournalist Amber Bracken’s wrongful-arrest lawsuit, which somehow finds a new way to wring controversy from the term “occupation.”Correction: A previous version of this episode featured claims of an altercation between an alleged Israeli police officer and Arabic-speaking reporter, elements of which Canadaland has since not been able to verify.Clarification (Nov. 6, 2023): Further clarification has been added to our web post.Host: Jonathan GoldsbieCredits: Aviva Lessard (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Guest: Pacinthe Mattar Further reading: Journalist casualties in the Israel-Gaza conflict – Committee to Protect JournalistsAn open letter to Canadian newsrooms on covering Israel-Palestine (2021) – Google Docs‘On Thin Ice’: Some Biden Administration Staffers Feel Stifled Discussing Horrors In Gaza – HuffPostObjectivity Is a Privilege Afforded to White Journalists (2020) – The WalrusBisan Owda (@wizard_bisan1) – InstagramJailed for Journalism: Amber & Michael Speak Out (2021) – CANADALANDRCMP dispute photojournalist's account of arrest while covering pipeline protest – The Canadian Press Sponsors: Douglas, Squarespace, Elijah Craig If you value this podcast, Support us!

Award-winning podcaster Connie Walker joins Jesse in studio to talk about the problems and racism she faced at the CBC, including the pushback she received when trying to tell stories about Indigenous women. But that racism and pushback didn’t deter her. During her time at the CBC, she created what is now known as CBC Indigenous. She also created the hit podcast series Missing & Murdered which, despite its success, was canceled after two seasons. She remains committed to telling those stories, making sure that they are more than just footnotes in Canadian history, with her work on the series Stolen, at Gimlet Media, for which she recently won a Pulitzer Prize and a Peabody award.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further Listening: Missing & Murdered, Season 1, Season 2 — CBCStolen — SpotifySponsors: Elijah Craig, ArticleIf you value this podcast, support us!

Support Canadaland now.There’s a video on YouTube titled “Trudeau’s Alleged AFFAIR with Minister of AFFAIRS” that baselessly suggests the Prime Minister’s marriage fell apart due to a dalliance with a member of his cabinet. It has nearly half a million views.It’s the biggest hit for a channel called Street Politics Canada that, for more than a year, has been churning out anti-Trudeau content day after day.
