Statement from Nicole Feriancek, Editor-in-Chief, Ottawa Citizen:
David Pugliese is a valued, trusted and esteemed member of the Ottawa Citizen and Postmedia team.
Yesterday, a witness before Parliamentary committee made ridiculous and baseless accusations against David, and suggested his work was compromised by a foreign entity.
We reject that accusation and stand firmly behind David.
At no point have we ever doubted David’s work or integrity, nor have we ever been approached by any intelligence entity concerning David or his work.
David has a long and respected career as a journalist. He has been recognized for his fearless reporting, including multiple National Newspaper Awards and a lifetime achievement award by the Canadian Committee for World Press Freedom in 2020.
He will continue his vital reporting on military issues for the Ottawa Citizen. (more...)

It's a sad irony these comments were made in a meeting examining disinformation campaigns. These claims are dangerous & designed to undermine the credibility of journalists. Period. https://t.co/SR2ENv4WI2
