As we navigate these crazy times please don& #39;t forget the important role journalism plays.
Here in BC we wouldn& #39;t have all the facts without the critical reporting of @A_MacLeod_Tyee, @robshaw_vansun, @sobittersosweet, @keithbaldrey, @LizaYuzda, and @brish_ti among others.

As a journalist for a local paper in @TheMartlet I also see on a daily basis the importance of local reporting. Outlets such as @NorthShoreNews and @BurnabyNewsNow continue to struggle so if you have the means please donate.

Local papers help community building and pick up important stories that large outlets usually stay away from. The news you recieved on the daily would not be as vibrant or interesting without their input. #localnewsmatters

I realize I left out @richardzussman @CBCtanya and @j_mcelroy who all should have been included in my initial tweet. My colleagues @katekorte and @thatemfagan have also been on the frontlines of COVID-19 and how it affects students. Give them a follow if you haven& #39;t already.
