2013 BC Election: The Missing News 

/// Event Details /// 
What: Panel Discussion on Alternative Media Coverage of the Election 
Date: Friday, May 3, 2013 
Time: 7:00PM 
Free Attendance | First Come, First Served 
Venue: Labatt Hall (Room #1700), SFU Vancouver (515 W. Hastings St.) 


/// Event Overview /// 
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. What can our province's independent media outlets offer and what role will they play once the writ drops on April 16? 

This event is co-presented by rabble.ca, and organized as a part of the CounterCulture Speaker Series run by the Media Democracy Project, the SFU School of Communication, and the SFU Institute for the Humanities. 


/// Panelists /// 
Gwen Barlee (Wilderness Committee) 
Bob Hackett (SFU, Newswatch Canada) 
Jarrah Hodge (Gender-Focus.com) 
Andrew MacLeod (The Tyee)
