The panel, moderated by Charlie Smith, of the Georgia Straight spoke to the bright future, small independent media offers. David Beers urged everyone in the room to support alternatives by sending links to the Tyee and the Vancouver Observer and other favourite online news organizations to five friends. The conference took place at the downtown public library and addressed issues like net neutrality and the impact of independent media.
