Vancouver media workers and producers lead a panel and discussion about proposed government bailouts of corporate media, the impacts of cuts to the public broadcaster, and exciting alternative models for media.
The panel and discussion took place on May 27, 2009 at VIVO Media Arts Centre, Vancouver. Special thanks for WorkingTV for filming panel.
The panel focused on the following questions:
- If news financed by big business is failing, what alternatives do we have?
- What role could/should CBC play?
