Global Reporting Centre
The GRC is an editorially independent journalism organization based at @ubcjournalism.bsky.social. We are leaders in doing global journalism differently. globalreportingcentre.org
- COMING SOON: A special collab with @aljazeeraenglish.bsky.social and Sara Rammal, an artist and content creator from Odaisseh, South Lebanon.
- The United Nations calls it one of the world’s deadliest migration routes. On TikTok, it’s sold as a journey to a better life.
- The irregular sea crossing from Morocco to Spain—often via the Canary Islands—is anything but glamorous. Violence and death are real risks, and many migrants never make it to the other side.
- Reposted by Global Reporting CentreMA Student Zachary Gaouad contributed to a Global Reporting Program investigation with the @globalreportingcentre.org, examining how social media is used to influence people to pursue migration through risky and often dangerous journeys. 🔗 Via PBS News: www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

- It's only the beginning of January and it's already been a chaotic news cycle awash in disinformation. It's clear independent news is essential. But how do we sustain small non-profit newsrooms? Our directors for @gijn.org gijn.org/stories/grow...

- Frank de Boon, a former conservation officer, has dealt with something most of us hardly think about: wildlife struck and killed by trains. “We were seeing it all the time,” he told @thenarwhal.ca's @ainsliecruickshank.bsky.social in her latest story. projects.thenarwhal.ca/collision-co...
- “Railway companies are difficult or impossible to work with.” These were the words of an internal govt. document browsed by The Narwhal and the CBC in their recent investigative story of wildlife dying on train tracks. @thenarwhal.ca story: projects.thenarwhal.ca/collision-co...
