Media Coverage
Pivot's 2002 report To Serve and Protect which compiled 50 affidavits from local residents of the Downtown Eastside resulted in an official apology from the Vancouver Police Department in 2007. Their 2006 report on the housing crisis in Vancouver - Cracks in the Foundation - resulted in the current focus on homelessness and evictions from low-income buildings in the city and many in-depth reports by local media on the topic.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
