Summary
Former CityNews reporter Tina Yazdani is suing Rogers for $650,000, claiming she was fired for being too confrontational with politicians — a move she says was retaliatory and unjust. Rogers denies wrongdoing, blaming her for repeatedly violating newsroom policies and plans to fight the suit. The case has ignited debate in Toronto: while many back journalists’ right to hold power accountable, others stress the need for fairness and factual reporting. Yazdani says she followed editorial guidelines and received approval for her stories — including one that sparked her firing in 2025 — but Rogers insists her actions breached company standards.
