The Role of the Mainstream Media

Fantastic graphic from National Post by Richard Johnon and Jonathon Rivait

I want to acknowledge those in the media who have helped us raise the profile of heritage and the crisis in Brantford, turning the spotlight on their Littell little world and turning into a national story. In particular, Chris Hume of the Star personally drove out and photographed Colborne Street himself and wrote about it months ago. The National Post has consistently been on the right side of heritage issues and did a glorious full page spread yesterday. I have lost track of the number of times I have cancelled my Post subscription in a rage, but may have to start it again. As for the fishwrap that is the Brantford Expositor, and their role as cheerleader in all this, they should be ashamed of themselves.
