We tell your stories, shed light on wrongdoing and hold the powers that be accountable
CBC British Columbia launched Go Public in October 2007.
You can see and hear the segment regularly on CBC News: British Columbia, CBC News: Calgary, The National, CBC News Network, CBC Radio and CBC.ca.
We get to the bottom of the problem and go after who should be held responsible.
But we don't make the news – you do.
All of our story ideas come from people who contact us. Many of those people also appear prominently in the stories themselves.
If your story is one we can tackle and it's in the public interest, we will take it on.
