CBC should go where other media can’t — not where they already are

CBC used that money last year to hire another 30 reporters in communities across Canada, which is great. The problem is, it’s not in places like Gibbons or Legal in Alberta that have no community news, but towns like Red Deer and Medicine Hat, which already have daily newspapers, private TV stations, multiple radio stations and online news outlets. Towns like Banff, that are already served by community news outlets like our very own Rocky Mountain Outlook — a bureau they’re now expanding to two reporters.
