Journalism

The Toronto Star published an op-ed by FRIENDS Executive Director Daniel Bernhard where he warns that, by some industry estimates, many of our major media outlets will fail within weeks due to the COVID-19 crisis.

The federal government’s announcement to support Canadian media shows the government is paying attention to the crisis facing our journalistic organizations.

Canadian stories are the backbone of who we are as a country, and they are in danger of disappearing.

FRIENDS will release 5 short films by five Canadian documentary filmmakers to highlight the thousands of Canadian stories we won’t hear or see because they are not being told. The Tell Our Stories series will be released on Monday, March 16 at tellourstories.ca.

Canadian media is failing when it comes to diversity. #CJOF co-founder Anita Li explains why change needs to happen now.

The University of Toronto’s Media Commons is building an archive of Canadian broadcasting media materials relating to the audiovisual and media communities, the entertainment industry and popular culture in order to preserve an accurate, fair and comprehensive historical record for us all.

FRIENDS delivered a whole lot of love for the CBC, along with some frank criticism that can only come from the closest of friends.
