We’re bursting with pride because of a media move by one of our own. Former J-Source associate editor Tamara Baluja made a big announcement:
Some news about me: I've been awarded the Michener-Deacon Fellowship on journalism education, and I'll be spending time at @UBCJournalism developing a workshop on what else – social media! Needless to say, I'm thrilled to have this honour! https://t.co/JC0YKPHWdC

Hey, #cdnpoli – I am about to cartwheel out of here. Just joking! I can't do cartwheels while nine months pregnant, or ever. But I really am going on parental leave until July 2019. I wish my @CdnPress_Ott colleagues all the best. Please give @janicedickson a warm welcome.

Hey #Toronto! Today is my last shift in the @TorontoStar newsroom. After more than 2.5 years in the @starradiobox, I'm here to say that I'm hanging out at 1 Yonge until midnight. Follow along for #breakingnews in the city. Send news/tips/coffee and have a lovely day.
