Times are tough at CanWest Global, especially the local newspapers in the chain. But this was an article published in the Vancouver Province about a car accident that killed two girls.Instead of going to interview friends or family of the deceased, the reporters based half their story on comments posted to a Facebook tribute page.
This brings about a good debate; is this an example of lazy reporting or is this the new style of reporting in the world of new technology?
This has been an Ernest contribution.
