City University

[edit]

As far as I know (and I know Vancouver) there is no "City University." If he got a degree of some kind in journalism, he might have got one at Vancouver City College (VCC) which offers a j-program, both a one-year accelerated, and a longer one. But prior to 2000, VCC was not a 4-year, degree-granting institution. The only such in Vancouver at that time would have been Univ of British Columbia, or Simon Fraser Univ. So whatever the source for this, it's not quite correct. Theonemacduff (talk) 18:14, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

From 1984 to 2007 City University of Seattle, a private college which operates in many cities, offered a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree at its Vancouver, British Columbia, campus. This degree was not accredited by the government of British Columbia. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.80.123 (talk) 12:07, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Promo material?

[edit]

The Background and Career section of the article lack sources, lack specificity and seem like they are from a promotional bio or something. Would anyone object if I improve them? 74.12.5.218 (talk) 14:01, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Al Jazeera, trial

[edit]

Is there any update as to his suing Al Jazeera?

Lead needs improving

[edit]

The lead badly needs to be converted from a list of events into a typical WP biographical lead, by somebody who knows the subject 2A00:23C4:508A:D100:E11D:2360:F3DB:F3C3 (talk) 19:09, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
