Curt Petrovich
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Curt Petrovich is a Canadian journalist. He has worked for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation since the 1990s.
In 1999, Petrovich was awarded the Michener Award by Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson for his coverage of a vote-splitting scandal in the 1995 Manitoba provincial election. Following interviews with Darryl Sutherland, Petrovich discovered that organizers of the Progressive Conservative Party had funded Independent Native Voice candidates to split the left-of-centre vote with the New Democratic Party in three constituencies.
Petrovich is currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia. He made the following comment about CBC management in 2005, following the Corporation's lockout of its workers:
"Why isn't someone trying to take back the controls from a bunch of box cutter-wielding ideologues who are ready to smash this organization into the pillars of public trust that took decades to build?"[1]
