Panel:
Kent Molgat, Journalist with KelownaNow

Kent spent 9 years as Interor Bureau Chief for CTV British Columbia where his coverage area expanded to the entire interior of the province. While his hard-hitting reporting once took a local politician fro the mayor’s office to a jail cell, he is probably best known for walking into a pole while chasing down a story.
