Since 2021, we’ve campaigned to pass Canada’s student press protection law right here in BC — because student journalists are real journalists. from @spencerizen.bsky.social & Jessica Kim.

Happy #WorldPressFreedomDay! Today and every day, let's celebrate and protect the rights of those who practice journalism, in the face of so many obstacles in Canada and elsewhere, whether they are student or professional.
