The 2024 Lieutenant Governor’s BC Journalism Fellow is Michele Brunoro, an award-winning senior reporter and anchor for CTV News Vancouver with 30 years of journalism experience.
Ms. Brunoro has been awarded funding to produce online stories, in addition to a TV broadcast piece, focusing on human trafficking in British Columbia. She is committed to investigating and sharing these important stories to raise public awareness and give a voice to victims, inform the public and help prevent further exploitation.
Brunoro’s project, expected to be completed in early 2025, includes exploring victim backgrounds, the effectiveness of laws in BC, preventive efforts, and the work of British Columbians to help victims in other parts of the world. She hopes to speak with both Canadian and foreign victims and provide a BC perspective on sex tourism.
