Lisa LaFlamme: Controversial Dismissal |  JDM

She shared her surprise and sadness after the famed newscaster (whose departure evoked emotions comparable to those experienced by Quebecers when Bernard Derome and Pierre Bruno retired) was fired in rather cavalier fashion by Bell Media (which owns CTV).

“For 35 years I’ve had the privilege of being welcomed into your homes every night to deliver the news, so I figured you should hear it from me,” she said. On June 29th, I was informed that Bell Media had made – and I quote – “a business decision to terminate my contract,” abruptly ending my long career with CTV News. I am surprised, shocked and saddened by this decision. »

The video has so far garnered 4.2 million views, 79,800 likes and 16,100 comments, almost all positive. Reactions also came in the form of open letters from outraged readers crying out against sexism and ageism in newspapers. The Globe and Mail.

Contacted about this News magazineJournalism professor at UQAM, Jean-Hugues Roy, does not hesitate to talk about ageism towards women.

“I think it’s very unfair that women suffer such injustices,” he said. Would Mrs. Laflamme have received the same treatment if she had been a man? I don’t believe it.
