PETERS – KTW story on closure rumour raises more concerns than it alleviates
THEY HADN’T MADE THEIR WAY to this part of the world, but apparently there were rumours.
Rumours that Kamloops This Week, the city’s last remaining physical newspaper, was set to close.
At KTW’s Dalhousie Drive office, the rumours were apparently very loud, causing the paper to run a story online this week addressing them.
The newspaper is not closing, according to the story. What is happening is that the newspaper’s ownership, Aberdeen Publishing, is attempting to re-open its collective agreement with its unionized staff in an effort to renegotiate certain aspects of the deal.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that’s good news for the paper.
James Peters is the radio anchor at CFJC, coming to Kamloops in 2006. He anchors the afternoon news on B-100 and 98.3 CIFM, and contributes weekly editorials to the CFJC Evening News. He tweets regularly @Jamloops.

I’m concerned about that “leaked” confidential document; the one the Mayor is unable to view and must request his view in a closed meeting of council.
I’m concerned about the integrity of that “leaked” confidential document and who now owns that particular copy (be it in print or electronic format)?
