Last year, The Times Colonist's Carolyn Heiman and Jeff Rud - along The Canadian Press's Scott Sutherland - resigned to become senior members of the provincial government's public affairs bureau. And, thanks to the Great Recession, it's possible they won't be the only reporters converting their media credentials into public service pay cheques. After all, the bureau's latest service plan isn't forecasting any downsizing. And, according to an exclusive analysis by Public Eye, the maximum salary for a communications director is 22 percent more than that of a reporter at The Province or The Vancouver Sun. All of which would be a comfort at a time when the future of the media is in doubt. The following is a complete copy of that analysis.
