## Editorial method
- Ran the NewsForBC RSS collector for CBC British Columbia, Global BC, CHEK News and CityNews Vancouver.
- Selected B.C.-specific public-interest items over national filler, sports-only posts, ads and generic video-programming posts.
- Wrote all NewsForBC summaries in original wording rather than copying source paragraphs.
- Framed active rescue/missing-person and justice items cautiously as reported information that can change.
