## Editorial method

The daily RSS collector was run for CBC British Columbia, Global BC, CHEK News and CityNews Vancouver. NewsForBC selected seven B.C.-specific public-interest stories and rewrote each item in original NewsForBC wording. This is source-linked summarization, not original on-scene reporting. Allegations, legal challenges, investigations, regulatory decisions and public-health claims are framed as reported or official statements unless a court or official finding has confirmed them.
