Throughout her career as a community news publisher in the Interior, Brandi has learned people want to see independent, in-depth, solutions-focused local news. As the CEO of Discourse Community Publishing, Brandi leads a growing network of independent news outlets including The Discourse, The Wren, Sun Peaks Independent News and supporting IndigiNews. While her work may now include other areas of B.C., her home and heart are located in the resort community that launched her as a publisher. She is also a sessional journalism instructor at TRU.
