Trudeau story buried?
Dear Editor:
RE: Trudeau holds press conference in Guelph to announce housing plan, March 23.
Ever since moving to Rockwood a couple of years ago I have been a regular reader of the Wellington Advertiser. I believe in supporting community newspapers and find your content very relevant to residence of Wellington County.
That being said, I was surprised when I was reading the March 23, issue to find a story about the Prime Minister of Canada visiting Guelph to announce his housing plan buried on page 11.
I would expect when the PM visits Wellington County for any occasion that it would make front page news. I understand that you are a Conservative-friendly newspaper, but that shouldn’t affect how you report on the PM no matter what party they belong to.
Why did you bury a story on the visit by the PM to Wellington County on page 11?

*Editor’s note: The following factors were considered for placement of this story: Guelph is not part of Wellington County; pages 10 and 11 are two of our most popular pages (we did not “bury” it); we were not informed in advance of Trudeau’s appearance and had to rely on a government press release; and the housing plan was previously announced by the government last year.
