The Manitoba government’s all-party committee on local journalism is holding public hearings starting in Gimli next week.
The committee, chaired by New Democrat MLA Robert Loiselle, will hold public consultations across Manitoba.
“A healthy democracy relies on strong local journalism,” Loiselle said in a government news release Friday.
“Consultations will focus on rural and northern media and cultural media such as French, Filipino, Punjabi and Chinese language publications, with the mandate to explore the future of local journalism.”
The all-party committee consists of three other government MLAs — Diljeet Brar, Jennifer Chen and Eric Redhead — and two Progressive Conservative MLAs, Greg Nesbitt and Richard Perchotte.
The meetings are in:
- Gimli on Thursday
- Winnipeg on July 2
- Brandon on July 7
- Thompson (virtually) on July 8
- Winkler on July 11.
