It definitely seemed like he was boots on the ground, since his articles focused on following a single topic. I looked him up further and it seems like he is more of a freelance writer writing for several different entities.

In a sense I like freelance writing because I feel like they get to write about what they want, but as with any writer, they still need to sell their story.]]> 2022-09-13 00:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2293323288 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2294438682 It appears that David Stobbe works for himself, but provides articles to many several news sources.]]> 2022-09-13 14:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2294438682 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2294450116 2022-09-13 14:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2294450116 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2294465077 Ismail Shakil also writes for reuters. He is a breaking news journalist, but from his twitter, it appears he works out of Ottawa.

He still covered a lot of the stabbing incident in Saskatchewan, but it seemed like he was less of a true primary source as he worked out of Ottawa. Entirely possible that he traveled for interviews and such.

I think primary sources are crucial to informed news. I think the more a story is related and passed from person to person, the more bias is introduced, because people are able to pick and choose what they pass along. It is much more likely for a primary source to tell a story with as much truth as possible, at least from their perspective. It is furthermore important to glean information from multiple primary sources in order to piece together a full story.]]> 2022-09-13 14:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2294465077 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2297418669 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation - "The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, branded as CBC/Radio-Canada, is a Canadian public broadcaster for both radio and television. It is a federal Crown corporation funded by the government. The English- and French-language service units of the corporation are commonly known as CBC and Radio-Canada, respectively." Wikipedia

CBC is government funded, but I think it is good to have some news come from the government. What I have learned most over this process is you need to have a variety first and foremost and if some of that variety comes from the government, that is good.

One thing that was nice about CBC, that I haven't seen on any U.S. sources, was they had an entire Indigenous section, where much like World news or Politics or Sports, there was an Indigenous tab that pulls up any and all articles having to do with indigenous people. This was anything from the mass stabbing, to new indigenous people being elected to various positions, or outrage over unclean water. It was good to see coverage of these topics. People are often understandably frustrated with the Canadian government for the lack of assistance they have provided to indigenous people. My only hope is this coverage helps educate people of the problem.]]> 2022-09-15 02:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2297418669 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2297421652 "The Aboriginal Peoples Television Network is a Canadian specialty channel. Established in 1992 and maintained by governmental funding to broadcast in Canada's northern territories, APTN acquired a national broadcast licence in 1999." Wikipedia

This was a REALLY neat find. All of the articles are about indigenous people. You can filter by province to narrow it down. It is amazing to see indigenous people with a voice like this. There are so many facets of indigenous people's life that get overlooked and these stories, written by those they are about, really help to shine a light on their circumstances and things they want to fight for.]]> 2022-09-15 02:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2297421652 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2305147958 AP News is an American non-profit that is headquartered in New York City. They produce news and distribute it to other entities. As a result, they often have less biased articles than other news agencies, because they are sending their news to a range of consumers.

This article was regarding the Pope's visit to Canada to apologize for Indigenous abuses by Catholics. I came across this topic a lot and it was interesting to see the range of responses. There was consensus that yes the Pope came to Canada and apologized, but there was not as much consensus when it came to the next steps. Many people are grateful for his words, but others think it is not enough. An apology should only be the beginning of reparations for all of the harm caused over the years.]]> 2022-09-20 15:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2305147958 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2305158000 2022-09-20 15:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2305158000 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2337255318 The Canadian Museum for Human Rights has a lot of posts for Indigenous people and other minorities. This one focused on UNDRIP and how the Canadian government was one of few that did not sign on, in fact they voted against it.

I think most people think of Canada as a sort of utopia in some senses, but from what I have learned, to indigenous people, this is far from true.

However, the post mentions that Canada has written a bill to implement UNDRIP which would help provide many basic amenities to their indigenous populations.]]> 2022-10-12 15:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2337255318 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2337934580 This post discusses how the death of the queen has led indigenous people to speak up against colonization.

I discovered express tribune is based out of Pakistan.

Social media is cool, because it too comes from a variety of different places. You are able to have news sources amplify their articles, government entities share information, and individual people share their stories.

Social media comes with negative connotations, most of which are fair, but I do think it is the most versatile platform for gaining information, whether or not the news comes from a news agency.]]> 2022-10-13 01:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2337934580 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2337940843 This was his caption: What is happening on Wet’suwet’en Territory is nothing short of criminal. A crime against the very Indigenous People that local, provincial and federal governments claim to reconciling with. Justice is a joke if we think that Canada can force a fracking pipeline through Unceded Wet’suwet’en territory in direct opposition to the statements and demands of the people who live on the land. Since day one this country has justified the removal and assault of Indigenous People through the lens of resource extraction and economics. What good are the Popes’ words if nothing changes? What good is UNDRIP if the violence continues? The #cgl pipeline is not only a crime against indigneous people, but a climate nightmare. This pipeline will cause an explosion of fracking and gas development in northern “BC” and further drive the heatwaves, floods, droughts and storms that we’ve only seen the start of. If you care about repairing and correcting the horrendous things done to Indigenous People by this country, you must vocally oppose this project. You must speak clearly your support for sovereign Indigenous Nations like the Wet’suwet’en. If you care about your childrens’ future, you must resist all oil and gas expansion. This isn’t complicated. Quit looking the other way. 

This is a great example of how a single person can use social media to spread awareness. Luke Wallace is a singer and usually posts music related things, but in this case he is able to use his platform to bring awareness to this travesty.

Not everyone has the skills or ability to become a journalist or spread news that way, but social media can still allow you to stay informed.

It is always still important to know your source and do further research as needed.]]> 2022-10-13 01:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2337940843 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2338094952 The Rolling Stone was middle of the road on the bias chart. I did a search for indigenous people in Canada and did not find anything.

"Indigenous people" got me one article from 2021 about Navajo people and the pandemic. Overall not a great search system. Their news was more focused on politicians and who said what and celebrities as opposed to what I would consider bigger issues.

It understandably fell where it did on the chart.]]> 2022-10-13 04:18:43 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2338094952 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2338101413 USA Today I also grabbed from the bias chart. They were more toward the middle top. My search for indigenous people in Canada did bring up several articles, however they were all focused on the stabbing incident that occurred early September.

My thought is perhaps US news sources are more focused on indigenous people in the US as opposed to other countries.

However, further searches did find articles regarding the Pope's visit, the mass grave of indigenous children found at one of Canada's indigenous residential schools and how the death of the queen is impacting indigenous communities.

Both the US and Canada are grappling with the reconciliation with their indigenous populations. Incidences in other countries can influence others to think about the work they still need to accomplish.]]> 2022-10-13 04:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2338101413 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2338111688 I come from a small island city, so it is understandable that they would not be reporting on Canada. Most of the articles were opinions or news from around the community.

They did have several about Indigenous People's day and I grew up aware of the strong Suquamish presence nearby and the fact I lived on Duwamish land, a tribe which does not have a federally recognized reservation. I hope the education of indigenous people in the Pacific Northwest continues to spread.]]> 2022-10-13 04:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2338111688 w4t3rm3l0nlvr https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2338114538 The Kitsap Sun is another one of my local newspapers, but it covers the whole county. There is a large Native American presence where I live and they did have a lot of articles about indigenous people, mainly in the U.S. However, this one mentioned Quadra Island in British Columbia which is actually where my grandma lived. But anyway, they were working with indigenous people up there to revive the clam population.

I did discover that it was originally produced from Reuters but both the Express Tribune, Pakistan's national newspaper and the Indian Express reported on this topic of how the Queen's death impacted indigenous people.

I believe being former colonies of the UK lead Pakistan and India to report on this topic and the downfalls of having the Crown reign over them.]]> 2022-10-13 15:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/w4t3rm3l0nlvr/k1rdyw34a6goetpo/wish/2339037213
