2013 BC Election: The Missing News
May 3, 2013
With the mainstream press increasingly preoccupied with the election horserace, it’s often left up to independent and alternative media organizations to tell the real stories and cover the real issues. This is especially true in BC, where our corporate media landscape is one of the most highly concentrated in the country. Leading up to the provincial election in May 2013, our panelists were asked, “What can our province’s independent media outlets offer and what role will they play before the vote on May 14th?”
