Terry Milewski is a Canadian journalist. He is a reporter currently based in Vancouver. Milewski has reported from many places around the world including Europe, the Middle East, South America and the United States. He has also reported from Ottawa and Calgary and was the first CBC reporter based in Jerusalem. Milewski has journalism experience in television, radio and print media. He emigrated to Canada from Britain.
In 1998, Milewski was suspended for three days from the CBC when the office of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien complained that he had been "biased" in his coverage of protests at the 1997 APEC summit in Vancouver. He received another 15-day suspension when he wrote a piece in the Globe and Mail defending his actions, although the suspension seemed to be more for writing the piece without the okay of his employer.
Many other reporters and columnists defended Milewski, and he was later vindicated by the CBC's Ombudsman, who ruled, after a four-month investigation, that Milewski's work "cannot be faulted for fairness or for accuracy." A commission of inquiry subsequently confirmed, as Milewski had reported, that some police actions against protesters were based upon political considerations rather than security ones.
In 2006, Milewski reported in a documentary for the CBC that a minority within Canada's Sikh community was gaining political influence even while publicly supporting terrorist acts in support of the struggle for an independent Sikh state. A Sikh separatist group, The World Sikh Organization(WSO), later sued the CBC for slander and libel, alleging that Milewski linked it to terrorism and damaged the reputation of the WSO within the Sikh community. However, the WSO did not identify any factual errors in the broadcast.
Various Sikh websites also attacked the documentary .
