For weeks, a group of journalists, particularly journalists of color, have been publicly sharing a series of private, anonymous emails they’ve received. These emails contained specific, targeted and disturbing threats of violence and sexual assault, as well as racist and misogynistic language. “It was very insidious and the language around it was a perversion of some progressive language that was used to abuse and torture us. We were also told that we were put on a list of journalists to be silenced,” Erica Ifill, a columnist for The Hill Times and a podcast host, told CBC Radio’s The House for a segment that aired Saturday....
