Try Ground News to build yourself a list of sources you like to check directly

This particular reporter is the source. For all intents and purposes he is the only one that reports on the area (small community). Ground News seems to only pull from text sources, and it is grabbing essentially nothing. His work is presented as video.

Lack of local reporting has been an issue since long before these new rules.

Well, the reporting is sufficient enough, but not well aggregated outside of Facebook/X. If you work hard you can ultimately find it on CTV properties, but it's hard to deny that Facebook improved access to the news.

Yeah, the issue of your having one guy who is the only news source for your area is a big problem that a lot of communities face. At least it'll be easy to follow him wherever he moves, I guess?

I'm sorry your area is under reported on. It's a very serious issue.
