Candidate Platforms at the EUS Council
By Bowinn Ma
The impression left on the spectators of this particular campaign effort was that they had just been mind-attacked by a number of run-of-the-mill students running for positions in a student society that really has nothing to do with them (the spectators). Full Story »

VP External Bloodbath at Ladha

What is Voter Funded Media?

The short answer? Voter Funded Media is a media source that gets part or all of its money directly or indirectly from those who vote in the election that is being covered.

UBC was offered a grant to pilot the Voter Funded Media Model. At election time, voters get to choose from a list of participating media sources. Myrfield.Com Media is one such source. In this model, the top eight media groups as voted by the constituents will receive a cash prize. I'd like to encourage you to vote in this election. When you do, I also encourage you to vote for Myrfield.Com Media as your favorite elections coverage media source. Check back here for daily updates to help you stay informed, so that you can cast your votes for what you believe in. Remember: if you don't vote, don't complain!
