Another year around the sun, and it’s Christmas time once more!
Again this year, Island Social Trends thanks readers, subscribers, news sources, advertisers and suppliers for their continued support throughout the year.
The business model for all types of news publishers (TV, radio, print and online) has been in transition for many years due to social media and the ‘instant’ news cycle.
Amidst so much misinformation and disinformation online, there is continued pressure to maintain authentic journalism and Island Social Trends continues to serve that mission. Readers deserve the best they can get.
Your support has contributed to the continuation of this online news portal as part of the regional, BC and national news ecosystem. Island Social Trends in delivering professional news and analysis serves readers and democracy. That’s what journalism is all about.
Wishing everyone a very lovely Christmas and holiday season, and a relaxing year-end break toward a prosperous year in 2026.
