The Media Accountability Project  

In conclusion, while I have been critical of your reporting, my aim is constructive and in good faith. I understand that The Concordian is run by student journalists, and I recognize the pressure that pro-Israeli organizations can exert on students to report in a one-sided manner. My aim of this letter is to also extend an olive branch and inform your newsroom that the CJPME Media Accountability Project (MAP) team works hard to support student journalists in reporting fairly on Palestine. 

"I believe referring to October 7 as an “anniversary” is problematic. This is something that CJPME MAP staff have also been debating internally as the term “anniversary” almost frames the events of Oct. 7 as celebratory. I believe for both sides of this conflict, anniversary here seems highly inappropriate given the sensitivity of the date. I would recommend the Gazette, as well as other media outlets and Canadian civil society at large, to rethink the term."
