The survey suggests that media workers suffer high rates ofsymptoms, with 69 per cent of respondents reporting anxiety and 46 per cent saying they struggle with depression.
The number of media workers with formal diagnoses for anxiety and depression were 28 per cent and 21 per cent, far above the number of Canadians in the general public where rates stand at 2.6 per cent and 4.7 per cent respectively. That puts the rate of diagnosed anxiety among Canadian journalists responding to the survey at 10 times that of the general population, and the rate of diagnosed depression nearly five times higher.Story continues below advertisement
More than half of respondents said they had received online harassment and threats, and 35 per cent said they had faced harassment in the field.
😢
O Canada 🇨🇦 we are proud of diversity and multiculturalism and yet Trudeau is training and using our $$ to fund Nazi 😔
Why ? because of all the lies you tell , poor babies
So is the rest of the world. Get a new job
Lol
That's what happens when your constantly spewing garbage lies and propaganda. One sided feel good narratives are bullshit.
This is rich.... public calls the CdnMediaFailed out on their obvious bias and this article comes out. Just more CdnMediaFailed.
No surprise an industry that pumps out negativity for profit and clicks would be riddled with depressed people.
Probably because they are ashamed that they aren’t real journalists? And they have to tow the company marching orders? And don’t get to think for themselves? I dunno. Call me crazy….
Well judging by the narritive spewed by your journalists guilt must eventually becomes a heavy burden.
One sided news isn't journalism, it's propaganda. Respect is earned and mass media has lost most respect over the last few years
Shelby_Thom This use to be a respected profession like nurses, educators, police officers etc.Why would any of our children want to go into these much needed professions when so many people demean your well intended efforts? Anxiety and depression are real and negativity just makes it worse!
Another way of demanding money..
Learn to code...
Maybe stop lying and pushing false information and being a propaganda Machine. Then watch it destroy a country and pretend you had nothing to do with it. Might help if you stop that.
To all the people laughing here... please respond with an actual real name and we'll listen. Heck, I'll even talk to you. Anonymous slagging? Be better.
Maybe they feel bad for lying to the public, for the last 2yrs. Feeding so much be without questioning it at all. Now they have buyer remorse. Karmas a bitch,& I don’t feel bad for yah. DO BETTER!!!
Because they are paid to spread false information and populist agendas. Media is no longer impartial, they biased and politicized as hell. If I worked for those corrupt organizations, I would suffer a mental breakdown and deep guilt.
Imagine being trained to be a journalist and then finding out that if you attempt to do journalism ( investigating & criticizing ) you will be fired. Anybody want to step up and do vaccines? I didn't think so. 🤕🤒 🍵💉🐀🐒🏃
HOW MUCH IS TRUDUMB PAYING YOU?
I'll call you a waaaaaaaambulance🚨
Sounds like time for a sabbatical.
The guilt of presenting stories as true...that later turn out to be not true ...must overwhelming?
Pretty sure journalism died off a few years ago.
The notion that journalists experience higher rates of anxiety or depression than the average person is simply moronic. Additionally, why exactly is this a story for the general public in the midst of mass shootings, a war in Russia, and about fifty other things? FFS.
Hey canadian journalists, maybe stop lying and making bullshit up, might help your mental health.
Stop working for foreign elite news outlets and spreading fake news every day destroying your own country
Media is full of pay puppets only. There are not journalists anymore.
What about average Canadians who have to read the garbage?
Don’t care!
It's because they are not journalist they overworked employees tired of pushing lies .Thos employees are getting flack from the public because of these lies, we are not stupid..
id imagine so, it has to be taxing lying ALL the time
lmao 🤣 ….
I'm an outsider(Global news)it should respect the PHL&Pres.position instead of ignorantly calling names(son of a dictator)that are uncalled for.Journalist be unbiased&thoroughly research 1st.Cnd is inclusive&diverse.Walk the talk.
cry me a river.... 😂
Article is about online harassment causing mental health issues. Not the stories they cover. This is misinformation, and a pathetic attempt at self pity
Journalists? More like bloggers with an agenda.
When you push fear and hate for money instead of doing actual journalism it's going to happen. Just means you do actually have a soul and maybe you should change.
I didn't even know we had 'journalists' in Canada.
Will Dr Tom Brodbeck turn to the bottle in order to cope?
I'll call you a waaaaaaambulance🚨
They’ve had them for at least two years judging by the propaganda they’ve spewed out, the lies, the false narratives. You don’t hear the same rubbish from independent journalists!!!
Similar to what happens to social workers- when they see so much mayhem- need faith/inspiration to keep going (fyi-woke-ism isn't it)
Here comes the victimhood status
I guess peddling FakeNews for so long would take a toll on anyone's mental health.🤪 YouReapWhatYouSow
What's the matter lies only make u tell more lies? Give me a break they're mostly not even telling the truth. It's only sensationalism right?
Another victim of Donald Trump
No thanks to Canada's conservative parties, who only see the media as 'the bad guys' unless the media is only portraying the Cons. parties in a positive light, ...the media needs to remember that they don't go to work for the FordReich or any of that ilk... = (
