Try Ground News to build yourself a list of sources you like to check directly. It's a pretty good aggregator.
Lack of local reporting has been an issue since long before these new rules. CBC exists, and it's really weird to go directly to CTV for news if you're going to pick only one. That's the thing that plays silently in the dentist's office waiting room with scrolling rage bait and, as you say, cats up trees.
Wow, never heard of this. Thanks!
No free option will prevent a lot of people from jumping on this though.
It does have a free tier I believe.
This particular reporter is the source. For all intents and purposes he is the only one that reports on the area (small community). Ground News seems to only pull from text sources, and it is grabbing essentially nothing. His work is presented as video.
Well, the reporting is sufficient enough, but not well aggregated outside of Facebook/X. If you work hard you can ultimately find it on CTV properties, but it's hard to deny that Facebook improved access to the news.
Yeah, the issue of your having one guy who is the only news source for your area is a big problem that a lot of communities face. At least it'll be easy to follow him wherever he moves, I guess?
I'm sorry your area is under reported on. It's a very serious issue.
