TransLink Spies On Media Reports

One can now tell how dysfunctional TransLink is when it blames the messenger and not itself; in fact TransLink is scared of the messenger.

Again, instead of spending time and energy in providing a good transit service, TransLink spies on media reports and organizations who disagree with this ossified bureaucracy.

It must be getting very lonely in their expensive new “ivory towers”.

Itai??i??s clear TransLink keeps a fairly close eye on what the media reports about the organization.

Documents obtained through Freedom of Information show following a TransLink media availability back in January about the new Compass Card, there was a backdown back at transit headquarters with an ai???analysis of coverage.ai???

That included which media outlet was at the availability, what they reported and even the ai???toneai??? of the stories.

Most times reporters were rated as ai???factual, with a neutral tone.ai???

There was also a breakdown of what media had the most comprehensive coverage.

According to the FOI documents, TransLink felt radio missed the mark on key messages.
