la lutte pour la liberté de la presse n’a jamais été aussi urgente
La liberté de la presse s’effrite quand des journalistes sont réduits au silence, intimidés ou emprisonnés pour avoir dit la vérité.
Soutenir la liberté de la presse, c’est soutenir la démocratie au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde.
Faites un don aujourd’hui.

They won the 2025 Student Achievement Award from @wpfc-lpc.bsky.social in recognition of their relentless push for press freedom. buff.ly/CZdlaqd
They launched “The Transparent University Project," open-source platform helps students and others file and track FOI requests, including a tool that suggests how to word a request to increase the chances of success. buff.ly/w6Jk53F
Instead of backing down, they took the case to its resolution through mediation at Quebec’s FOI commission. Then they turned it into a bigger story. They dug into transparency at universities across Canada, publishing their findings through an interactive map and online database.
While student journalists at The Concordian, @writingmarieke.bsky.social and @aidanjraynor.bsky.social were shocked to receive a cease-and-desist letter from a lawyer representing Concordia University. The alleged wrongdoing? Filing freedom-of-information (FOI) requests.

Text says (Brown font on pale blue background.): 2025 Student Achievement Award Winners. Aidan Raynor and Marieke Glorieux-Stryckman. In bigger font: A student newspaper. A cease-and-desist letter. A fight over access to information. White logo for World Press Freedom Canada at the bottom of the graphic.
What happens when a university tries to shut down its own student journalists?
These students turned the spotlight on how power reacts to scrutiny. Story time! #pressfreedom #journalismisnotacrime (Thread)
