In-Bedded Journalism: Postmedia and Tar Sands PR "Reporting"


Presentation suggests intimate relationship between Postmedia and oil industry

by Jenny Uechi and Matthew Millar - Vancouver Observer

"Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers Postmedia 2013 Energy Channel Sponsorship": this was the title of a Prezi presentation. The presentation came to light on twitter today, on the same day that Postmedia eliminated its parliamentary bureau in Ottawa and laid off prominent environmental journalist Mike De Souza as well as political reporters Andrea Hill and Tobi Cohen.

 According to the Postmedia presentation, newspapers would work in partnership with CAPP to put the  spotlight on Canada's oil industry.
