PEAK OIL & THE MEDIA How bad can the NEWS get? July 12, 2008

How bad can the NEWS get?

Skyrocketing prices at the gas pump.
Food shortages worldwide.
Economy going into recession.
Tar sands an environmental disaster.
Global conflict over oil and other scarce resources.

There is one thread that ties it all together into one Big Picture: ENERGY.

Are the MEDIA in Vancouver telling you the whole story?

Join us for a panel discussion with some of Metro Vancouver’s top
journalists about how the media is (and isn’t) reporting on the imminent
global energy shortage that’s going to change our lives, and what our city
can do to prepare. Brought to you by Vancouver Peak Oil and friends.

Panelists will include:
Barbara Yaffe from the Vancouver Sun
Charlie Smith from The Georgia Straight
Rex Weyler from the Tyee and Vancouver Peak Oil Executive
