Win tickets to “Anderson Cooper Live in Vancouver: A 360 View of the World” #CooperYVR

I have been entrusted with a pair of tickets to give away to the event “Anderson Cooper Live in Vancouver” at the beginning of April, a $300 (plus taxes) value. I’m thrilled to be doing this, as I like investigative journalism (I am, an academic, after all).

So, the question you need to answer to enter my giveaway is who is your favorite investigative journalist in Vancouver?”. Or maybe, just your favorite investigative Canadian journalist. I have a soft spot for many journalists in BC, like Sean Holman, my own former student Tyler Harbottle, Andrea Woo and Erin Loxam, Rod Mickleburgh from the Globe and Mail, Stephen Quinn, Lisa Johnson, and Theresa Lalonde from the CBC, Gillian Shaw, Mike P. Hager from the Vancouver Sun, the list is long! Who is the journalist you follow/trust? It may of course be more than one!

For an additional (total of 2) entry, post the following on Twitter:

Shared who’s my fave journalist with @hummingbird604 http://is.gd/z0WaOd to enter to win tickets to #CooperYVR Anderson Cooper in Van

I will draw a winner this coming Monday, March 5th, at 2pm.

UPDATE – How could I forget one of my favorite journalists, my friend Kim Bolan (who covers organized crime in BC) and my friend April Smith (who is a new media journalist who broke some stories, including the fire in Little Mountain and the fire on Broadway and Main).

I like Kevin Newman the most.

Kevin Newman is/was my favorite journalist. I found he really got to the root of things – he asks the right questions to try and get the right answers and, in my opinion, is a great role model for anyone wanting to become a journalist. As a new writer/journalist myself, he was definitely an influence on me.
