Who reaches whom

The three information ecosystems of Beaches—East York, as one matrix — and the population no local channel reaches at all.

The media-and-online sweep found a riding that still runs on print, email, and Facebook — split into three information ecosystems that barely touch, plus one cross-cutting parents' network. The matrix below is the whole finding at a glance: read a row to see what reaches a population; read the empty rows and dead columns to see why one distribution arm must be borrowed, not improvised, and where nothing exists at all.

The two structural facts the matrix draws: (1) the Bengali-language row touches exactly one column — the Bangla media + mosques door (via BCS warm intro); the entire English hyperlocal layer does not land there. (2) The bottom row — renters, youth and newcomers outside the Bangla network — is the riding's biggest unreached slice: no local channel reaches them at all, which is why the mutual-aid network's own comms (paper + Signal) fill a vacuum rather than compete.
