Please spread the word:

I want to acknowledge that my comments about local media in Peterborough were unfair and did not capture the nuanced reality of the media landscape here. I will say, that it is interesting to engage in these discussions, especially as journalism is quite literally disappearing from social media with Bill C-18. I have real frustrations, but I also value the positive examples, relationships, and in-depth reporting that does exist in our community. I should have immediately acknowledged in my original tweet that the post I referred to originated from “social” media. And, my frustration should not have led me to generalize unfairly. Instead of owning my part/mistake I went back and forth 😏 which is something I like to do, but it can also get me in trouble. I appreciate everyone’s feedback, and your comments have registered with me. Some positive examples of local media that I value: - Joelle’s Council live tweets - The Arthur and Ptbo Currents, consistent in-depth reporting - Paul Rellinger’s articles @ KN - Cliff’s EPIC photos and all the fun we have setting up shots.
