W5 DGR townhall

I just want to make sure that everyone knows about this extremely important upcoming event.

On the evening of Friday March 10 at the Legion Hall in Kincardine CTV is doing a W5 event hosted by Lloyd Robertson on the DGR. 

It is of great importance that we get a crowd out to this as OPG will have organized a high profile group to speak and we need to be there to ask questions at the mic and demonstrate numbers. 

The info will be in the SOS website as soon as the time of the town hall is announced. 

Please spread the word to all who might be able to come. 

Again, it is crucial that we are well represented. 

Here’s today’s local items, one from Blackburn online news shown on CKNX’s website, and the other news item on 98 The Beach radio online.
 
 
Sometimes 98 The Beach provides better news coverage, and note the distinction in how each online news organization relates the Saugeen Shores municipal council’s final vote. I credit 98 The Beach for presenting a diversity of perspectives which communicates a proper a news story.
 
 
Regrettably, given the pressure of producing news immediately in this digital era, doing so undermines the integrity, and availability of deeper, more in depth content. The wider populace, as well, needs to be socialized differently to recognize that good journalism requires decent pay, rather than the now widespread expectation that all information on the internet ought to be free.
 
In closing, with all due respect to reporter John Divinski, he ought to have included a quote from someone to challenge former mayor of Kincardine Glenn Sutton’s assertion that the DGR project is being run “based on scientific values.” The average reader subsequently would view such a respected community member’s subjective point of view as the gospel truth. Oh well...
