Online campaign targeting Globe journalist draws condemnation as an attack on press freedom

21 juillet 2025 à 21:54

An online campaign that targeted a Globe and Mail journalist, in part using surreptitiously taken photos of her in public, was widely condemned on Monday, including by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and a national journalism organization that called the campaign an attack on press freedom.

Reporter Carrie Tait, who has been investigating allegations of political interference at Alberta’s provincial health authority, has been the target of an anonymous account on X, called The Brokedown, which posted photographs of Ms. Tait meeting with two former political staffers in the Alberta government. The account also referenced her movements around Calgary.

Someone also recently disguised a phone number to look like Ms. Tait’s mobile number to make calls to multiple people.
