BICAS in the news: our media archive

Organized by date of publication, below is a listing of newspaper articles, TV shows, radio programs, independent films: media by others directly about BICAS, peripherally about BICAS, or in some cases even minor mentions of BICAS (to not see the latter, set Relevance below to “High”).

The purpose of this archive is three-fold: to help us maintain an institutional memory of past projects and activities, to gauge our level of visibility in the community (for more on that, take a look at media statistics), and to help potential donors and grantors understand the relevance of supporting our operation. If you know of media items missing from this archive, please contact us and let us know!
