As such, we have launched a trust initiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This article is part of that project. With newspaper advertising revenues decreasing and com- munities across the country in- creasingly at risk of losing local news, the time to support jour- nalism is "now more than ever," says the professional body that represents newspapers in Cana- da. News Media Canada is hop- ing to spread that message far and wide during its ongoing Newspapers Matter campaign. "It's an opportunity for peo- ple to reflect on the importance (of newspapers) in their commu- nities, in civic dialogue and civic society in general," explained John Hinds, News Media Cana- da CEO. "It's about recognizing that journalists are skilled, trained professionals that have real knowledge of the communi- ty. They have background, they can do the digging and ask the tough questions. We've struc- tured our society around having that role where someone can ask the tough questions." That civic role is increasingly under threat in Canada, accord- ing to a study released this fall by Public Policy Forum, a think tank. Called "Mind the Gaps: Quantifying the Decline of News Coverage in Canada," it studied news coverage in 20 communi- ties across Canada over a de- cade, and found that the total number of articles declined by almost half. Coverage of local councils and civic affairs de- clined by one third.

"Almost 20 years ago we saw the internet as an exciting new medium for the exchange and distribution of news and infor- mation," she said in a Sept. 26 email. "We were right to be ex- cited and we were naive to not realize how this new medium was about to destroy many in- dustries, including the news business." She said that once informa- tion became more widely avail- able, fewer people were inter- ested in paying for content and audiences became fragmented, making advertising less attrac- tive. Net advertising revenue at newspapers dropped from $3.87 billion in 2007 to $2.13 billion in 2016, according to News Media Canada. "I've seen local news depart- ments stripped bare of staff and entire newspapers close up shop," said Mansour, who worked at Global, CHCH, CTV and CHUM over her TV career. "It's not an easy time." In addition to tighter bud- gets, one of the biggest changes Mansour has seen is in the way people value - or don't value - lo- cal news. "I think the two actu- ally go hand in hand because if you understand the value of something to the quality of your life, then you are willing to pay for it." "For me, the media's work is the conscience of the public. You keep politicians account- able. You deliver a message to politicians and challenge us," said Oshawa Mayor and region- al chair-elect John Henry. He added, "The media plays an important role in every mu- nicipality in this country. "Without the media in to- day's day and age, things would slide through. The public wouldn't be informed." The public wants more trans- parency and the media provides that, he added. "You've never heard me call or complain about an article, good or bad. You hold politi- cians accountable." Ryerson University journal- ism professor April Lindgren - principal investigator for the Local News Research Project - says community newspapers help residents feel part of a shared narrative. "(Local news coverage) holds power accountable but also brings people together by bring- ing a common narrative for them about their community," she said. "It creates a common denominator of information. Similarly, in the absence of that sort of news there's a vacuum ... Misinformation and deliberate- ly fake news can jump in to fill the gap." Lindgren's research project tracked the number of news outlets that opened and closed in Canada between 2008 and 2018. It found that only 69 brand new outlets emerged in that time, while 214 closed. Her team also studied 2015 federal election coverage in eight communities across the country, finding that some ar- eas had significantly more in- formation available than others to help guide voters' decisions. "There were quite large dis- crepancies based on where you lived," she said. "Some people are information-rich in terms of their ability to be informed, where others were relatively impoverished." Sharing personal stories to help better understand each other is another key function of local media, says Kurt Muller, dean of the McKeil School of Business, Media and Entertain- ment at Hamilton's Mohawk College. A former broadcast journal- ist, Muller says local coverage helps people better appreciate the circumstances of those who are different than themselves. "It's very important to tell peo- ple's stories." When it comes to educating today's journalism students, Muller said times have changed from when he started as a jour- nalist about two decades ago. Back then, TV reporters did TV, and writers wrote. Now, stu- dents must be able to work in a multifaceted way in order to produce content for the web. "Even if you're a newspaper reporter now, it's a very valu- able skill if you can shoot and edit video," he said. "You're ex- pected to (be skilled with) social media. The skill set has really grown, but the core skill, which is storytelling, has remained the same." It can sound like a lot of bad news for local news, but Hinds, the News Media Canada CEO, is hopeful that informing readers through campaigns such as Newspapers Matter will help them think more critically about their roles. "We want to send a message to readers and to advertisers that these are institutions that are worth supporting," he said. "People can support them by reading, buying and subscrib- ing."

Richard Lindsey, 50, of Oshawa was killed af- ter the vehicle he was travelling in was struck on Salem Road and Highway 401 at about 3:15 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 19. Durham regional police report that several hours earlier, Lindsey had assisted officers from the West Division in a separate incident by iden- tifying a suspected drunk driver, which led to impaired charges laid against that driver. Lindsey was driving a blue Chevrolet Equi- nox security patrol vehicle when he was getting off the eastbound 401 at Salem to head north. A southbound white BMW SUV slammed into the Equinox. Lindsey was taken to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The driver of the SUV suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital. Melanie St. Louis, 42, of Kingston Road East in Ajax has been charged with impaired opera- tion causing death and exceeding .08. St. Louis appeared briefly in an Oshawa bail court Monday afternoon and was remanded in custody for a hearing Tuesday. St. Louis, who was seated in a wheelchair and had visible bruising on her face, said nothing during the ap- pearance. In addition to the criminal charges St. Louis faces several Highway Traffic Act charges relat- ing to her status as a novice driver. Members of the DRPS traffic services branch, collision investigation unit, investigated and the scene was closed for several hours while evi- dence was collected. CRIME OSHAWA MAN KILLED IN AJAX IMPAIRED CRASH A man is dead and a woman has been charged with impaired driving following a crash in Ajax this morning. An Oshawa man in his 50s was killed and an Ajax woman in the 40s has been charged. Eastbound ramps are closed to Hwy. 401 from Salem Road as Durham Regional Police investigate the fatal collision that occurred around 3 a.m. on Nov. 19.

Our rela- tionship with our readers is built on trans- parency, honesty and integrity. As such, we have launched a trust initiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This article is part of that project. DURHAM - There's probably not a jour- nalist working in Ontario - or anywhere, for that matter - who has not finished up an interview, only to be confronted with the question: "Will I be able to read this story before it's published?" It can be the source of some awkward- ness. But our programmed response is a polite denial. We simply do not allow for pre-publication review of the stories we produce. That may seem quizzical to some. And rest assured, we understand why the ques- tion is asked. People are anxious about the way in which they will be portrayed in the media; they have concerns that their mes- sage may be lost in translation. And, of course, everyone involved - writ- ers, sources, editors and readers - wants to be sure we've got it right. Be assured, accuracy and fairness are of paramount concern for us. We take steps to ensure we're correctly presenting the in- formation we've gathered, without distor- tion or embellishment. We are trained to check and double check our facts. And when in doubt, we go back to our sources to make sure we do get it right. It may seem to you, then, that allowing a source to examine a story pre-publication would be a logical pursuit of that goal. Here's the problem, however: Allowing such a practice has the potential to go be- yond fact-checking, and result in the source attempting to influence not just the accuracy of the story, but the tone of it, as well. Doesn't sound like a big deal? It is. A key aspect of our legitimacy as a news organization is protection of our indepen- dence. We follow guidelines established by our parent company, Torstar, whose Jour- nalistic Standards Guide states that "inde- pendence from those we cover is a key prin- ciple of journalistic integrity." Think of it this way: If we were to allow a source in a story about, say, a store opening to review copy before it runs, we'd have to provide the same access to stories to the mayor, and the chamber of commerce, spokespeople for government ministries, and on and on. Mike Johnston, regional managing edi- tor at Metroland Durham Region Media Group, insists it's a policy on which we can't relent. "If we were to let everyone who asks to read a story before it is published we would lose all credibility," said Johnston. Legitimate newspapers do not allow pre-publication review of stories, and if any newspaper does, "its readers shouldn't trust it," Johnston said. "Can you imagine if we were to let politicians see the stories we were writing before our readers saw the story in print or online? We wouldn't be in business very long." All this is not to say we do not on occa- sion give sources an indication of what a story will say. But we'd do so only in the pursuit of accuracy. For instance, we might have a source confirm facts for us by send- ing them an email with the gist of what's being reported, including statistics and the other sorts of material that can trip report- ers up. But once again, that's to confirm de- tail, not to allow a source to affect the tone or approach to a story. We'll do our best to be accurate, fair and relevant. And the fact that we value our in- dependence ought to be reassuring to read- ers who want real reporting. And real reporting means that, some- times, the people being reported on aren't going to like what they read. Jeff Mitchell is the justice reporter with Metroland Durham Region Media Group. If he had a dollar for every time someone asked to read a story before it's published, he'd be retired by now. We welcome your questions and value your comments. Email our trust committee at trust@metroland.com. OPINION NO, YOU CAN'T SEE THE STORY BEFORE IT'S PUBLISHED. HERE'S WHY. Durham Regional Police Sgt. Bill Calder addressed the media outside Dunbarton High School where 8 people were stabbed in 2016. Jeff Mitchell, to the right of Sgt. Calder took notes. Jeff, like all our reporters, takes steps to ensure he's correctly presenting the information he's gathered, without distortion or embellishment. All Metroland reporters are trained to check and double check their facts. But none of them allow those we're reporting on to read the story before it's published.

As part of our trust ini- tiative, what better time to provide our customers with information on local journalists, who are com- mitted - and connected - to Durham Region. Sabrina Byrnes has been a photojournalist with Metroland Durham Region for almost 10 years.

Jillian Follert is the education reporter for Metroland Media Group's Durham Region division. She has been a reporter in Durham for 15 years and still gets excited when there's a great story to tell.

Bruce Froude has been the online content editor since 2005 and takes pride in being one of the first in the country. His first paying newspaper gig was as a sports report- er in Oakville more than 30 years ago, when he was pumped they used Macs and that he got to go games for free. Today, he still uses his Mac for the greater good and pays for his own tickets to games. Keith Gilligan has been a reporter since 1984. He started with Metro- land in May 1986.

He has scribbled about Scugog council for more than two decades and cov- ers a wide variety of com- munity news. He lives on Scugog Island with his wife and two dogs. Mike Johnston was named regional managing editor for the Metroland Durham Region Media Group in 2016. He has been with Metroland since 1991.

Veteran news editor Ian McMillan has worked in the Oshawa newsroom since July 2005. Prior to that, he worked in Metroland's Toronto newsroom as a city and managing editor. When he isn't putting together newspapers, he can be found on baseball dia- monds across the GTA, coaching baseball with the Oshawa Legionaires. Brian McNair has been covering sports in Durham Region for the past 20 years. His loves in- clude his family, the To- ronto Maple Leafs, the Beatles, chocolate and beer, not necessarily in that order (except the first, of course). A professional journal- ist since 1984, Jeff Mitch- ell has been the police and justice reporter in the Durham newsroom since 2004. When he's not filing stories, he's likely to be breaking guitar strings, walking miles with his dog or searching for gems in dusty bins full of vinyl LPs. Jennifer O'Meara is a reporter for Clarington This Week. She has been honoured to cover the news, events and remark- able people of Clarington since 2010.

Our rela- tionship with our readers is built on transparency, hon- esty and integrity. As such, we have launched a trust ini- tiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This article is part of that project. OSHAWA - Oshawa resi- dent Jeanne Taylor was well into her retirement when she decided to pick up a new job as an Oshawa This Week carrier. Taylor, 86, lives at 25 John St. W., an adult building where most of the residents are seniors. In August the family who regularly deliv- ered papers in the building decided to move on and Tay- lor saw an opportunity to step up. "Basically it was because I wanted to meet more of the tenants and it's very hard to because some of them don't leave their apartments," ex- plains Taylor. Delivering the paper is al- so good exercise, said Taylor, and she can do it indoors without having to grapple with icy sidewalks in the winter. She drops the some- times hefty paper off with the aid of a cart. As to the social aspect, Taylor said it has absolutely worked and she has gotten to know her neighbours. "I'm finding it very de- lightful, it's a way to get out and mix with fellow friends and the exercise is fantas- tic," she said. She regularly donates the dollars she collects via her route to charity, including cancer charities, The Heart and Stroke foundation and to supporting families through Carea Community Health Centre. "I'm not a poor person, I'm not rich, but I'm able to live on what I have and I'm happy to do the job," said Taylor of her decision to use her col- lection money for charitable donations. She saves a few dollars from her routes for playing bingo and has convinced her fellow bingo players to do- nate to Carea families, in- stead of an annual secret Santa exchange. Beyond that, Taylor is al- so a longtime volunteer with the Oshawa Senior Citizens Centres, having volunteered for 10 years. She said her doctor thinks it's a great idea to get some exercise while deliver- ing papers and Taylor said she plans to continue doing it. "Any senior who lives in any building, they would probably really enjoy doing this," she said. We welcome your ques- tions and value your com- ments.

Around the world - and across Durham - other kids their age were reading the same chapters of Alan Gratz's bestselling novel, at the same time. Refugee was one of this year's selections for Global Read Aloud, which sees thousands of students worldwide read the same books over six weeks every fall, and make connections with each other. More than four million students from 60 countries have participated since Global Read Aloud launched in 2010 with a sim- ple premise "one book to connect the world." Tindale, who teaches at McCaskill's Mills Public School in Brock Township, says reading Refugee has had an impact on his stu- dents. "The topic of the book is very timely, especially with what's happening in Syria," he says. "It gives students in small-town Cannington a much bigger perspective on what's going on in the world." Tindale did Global Read Aloud for the first time last year, bringing about eight other Durham District School Board teachers on board. This year, Tindale got 46 DDSB classrooms from 18 schools, involved. From Oct. 1 to Nov. 9, classrooms both local and global connected through Facebook groups, Twitter and tools like Skype, Padlet and Flipgrid. Each year, Global Read Aloud features a selection of picture books for youn- ger students to read over the six weeks, and book se- lections for older students at different reading levels - one for early readers, one for older elementary stu- dents, one for middle school age students and one for young adults. Refugee was this year's selection for middle school- age readers. The book follows the sto- ries of three refugees at three different points in his- tory - Josef, a Jewish boy liv- ing in 1930s Nazi Germany; Isabel, a Cuban girl whose family flees unrest in 1994; and Mahmoud, a Syrian boy in 2015 whose family sets out for Europe. The other 2018 selections included A Boy Called Bat by Alana K. Arnold for early readers, Amal Unbound by Aisha Saeed for older ele- mentary school readers and Love, Hate and Other Fil- ters by Samira Ahmed, for young adults.
