Tyee Fellowships winners decision pushed back to January 3, 2011

December 2, 2010 10:11 am

The date set for announcing winners of Tyee Fellowships, originally set for November 30, has been pushed back a month so that the independent panel making the decision can give the large number of quality entries the attention they deserve.

Tyee Fellowships for Investigative and Solutions-oriented reporting are funded by reader contributions and awarded, in $5000 amounts, to independent journalists wishing to carry out in-depth projects to educate the citizenry of British Columbia about key issues facing the province.

Past projects by Tyee Fellowship recipients have broken major stories, empowered citizens, and gained national recognition.

Look for an announcement of the winners on Monday, January 3, on The Tyee.

Democratic Trust

About The Hook

As British Columbia and other jurisdictions consider allowing online voting, can it be made secure enough that people will trust it? Will it encourage more people to vote? But if something goes wrong, will it further erode people's confidence in their democracies? And what role is the media likely to play in shaping the debate?

These are among the issues to be considered at a May 26 discussion that Fair Voting BC and PartyX are hosting at The Hive in Vancouver. I'll be on the panel, along with UBC Law's Fathima Cader and SFU computer scientist Steve Wolfman. The results and recommendations are to inform the two organizations' public positions on online voting.

Meanwhile join me and other contributors on The Hook as we bring you the latest from B.C. and across Canada.
