Help us hire an investigative journalist!
Help hire an investigative journalist!
A good investigative journalist can take months to write a story due to the countless hours of research and interviews. However, even with this investment, we believe that it's important as a way to keep those in power accountable.
We need 150 new supporters by the end of July so we can hire an investigative reporter to cover Northeast BC.
