Journalist coverage

The Canadian Telecom Summit appears in 3 of the 4 Toronto dailies. The National Post included a two page centre spread in the Financial Post section. The Globe has an article as does the Toronto Sun.

Help me understand a fine point of journalistic integrity. When there are leading telecom consultants in the audience, why would the National Post and Globe and Mail seek quotes from analysts who weren’t even at the Summit?

Update: The Toronto Star, which hasn’t covered the Canadian Telecom Summit in 4 years, came out of the dark in a story that featured a discussion of Monday’s Illegal Content session. Their reporter thought we were in Mississauga (The Toronto Congress Centre really is in Toronto). Maybe the Star’s reporters have been missing the conference because they are going to the wrong location!
