Message from Jacqueline Ronson, Cowichan Valley reporter
If there’s one thing that this pandemic has brought into focus for me, it’s the critical importance of healthy local news. In the context of COVID-19, local news saves lives — literally. But COVID-19 is also threatening the very existence of local news; at least 50 newspapers shut in Canada in six weeks.
At The Discourse Cowichan, we’ve decided to take a leap of faith and expand our coverage to fill this gap. Your support means our community gets the essential news it needs to thrive during and after COVID-19.
