The Narwhal proposes to hire an environment beat reporter to provide news coverage of environmental issues affecting Yukon Territory and the Arctic. No existing media outlet–be it local, regional or national–has an environment beat reporter covering issues in Canada’s Arctic. Given the profound ecological changes underway and huge development projects proposed for the region, this is a major gap in civic reporting. A dedicated environment reporter based in Whitehorse can address this gap by filing regular new reports that will be available to all media and serve the public interest. Due to the high cost of travel in the region, we are very keen to have a reporter in residence in the North. The Narwhal’s Yukon/Arctic reporter will monitor and report on the processes and decisions of the civic institutions that are charged to regulate industrial developments such as the Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Board, the Yukon Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, the National Energy Board, the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada, and local municipal councils.

The Tyee wishes to cover health issues in British Columbia through the Local Journalism Initiative. BC is a province with a number of major health research institutions producing new findings at a rapid clip.

Yet BC’s news media has very few dedicated health reporters with the mission of making such connections. The Tyee is a proven incubator of in-depth explanatory feature writing, garnering a wide and influential audience. A health reporter based at The Tyee would be given the resources, editorial support and platform to mobilize knowledge and bring to attention opportunities to improve the well-being of British Columbians.

The Chatham Voice wishes to hire an LJI reporter to better cover the Chatham-Kent area. Chatham-Kent council has its regular meetings covered by 2 radio and 1 daily news reporters, usually.

An LJI reporter would allow the Chatham Voice to delve deeper and in a more timely fashion into items and issues that come up through municipal council, as well as the regional boards of education. Currently too many one-and-done stories take place. Many times, follow-up stories are warranted, but no one has the personnel to assign to these. The goal is to provide more information for area residents on what is transpiring here, the good and the bad, in terms of municipal government and day-to-day delivery of services.

Peterborough is the fastest-growing city in the country, with a population increase of 3.1 percent from 2017 to 2018, according to Statistics Canada. Given the growth and large geographic area, there is an unmet need to cover a wide range of socioeconomic issues. Currently, the area struggles with sporadic media coverage that is unable to report on critical issues that impact the area. An LJI reporter is much needed to cover topics such as education, employment, economic development and the emerging dynamics between growing student and senior populations, as well as urban and rural issues. There is a great need to report on large civic institutions including, but not limited to, Peterborough Regional Health Centre, Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, City of Peterborough, Trent University, Ministry of Natural Resources, etc. While there area few news outlets in the area, there is a lack of full-time reporters to cover and investigate many of the emerging trends and developments with a high level of rigor.
