DOUG DRAPER

 Award-winning Niagara-based journalist since 1978  Niagara This Week column covered a range of environmental, social and political issues at the local, provincial and national level  Environmental reporter for the St. Catharines Standard  Editor of Niagara at Large

DOUG DRAPER  That journalism is a public trust that plays a vital role in providing citizens with the information they need to participate effectively in discussions and decisions that shape the future of their community.

DOUG DRAPER  That journalists can only fulfill their potential as honest brokers of information and watchdogs for their community if their work is not compromised by the pecuniary interests of corporate chains.

DOUG DRAPER  That independent sources of news, owned and operated by people who have roots in our communities and therefore share a greater stake in their well-being, are truer guardians of the public trust than distant corporate owners and their shareholders.

DOUG DRAPER  That residents of the greater Niagara region would welcome a news source with an eye to covering events and issues of interest and concern to the entire region.
