Sean Holman (formerly Public Eye)

"Unattached to any major media, Sean has consistently held the B.C. provincial government's toes to the fire, breaking stories constantly that other media do not discover. He's always ahead of them on matters that affect the average person. The fact he has done this without the accoutrements of a media outlet speaks volumes for his abilities and his commitment to our profession." 

"Sean Holman regrettably closed Public Eye Online late last year because it was not financially viable – but not only did great work producing over 6,000 stories in 8 years, he broke major exclusive stories in 2011. Among those: finding two firms with provincial Liberal connections were awarded secret, no-bid contracts worth over $250,000 for work promoting the Harmonized Sales Tax"
