Steve Vogelsang was a beloved member of Winnipeg's media who went on to instruct journalism students in the art of telling news. Leaving Manitoba's capital started a downward spiral for him, ending in the robbery of six banks in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and serving time in the Drumheller Institution.
On this episode of This Is Why, we look at what led Vogelsang to stick up banks in Canada's Prairies, and how that affected his legacy among a significant cohort of journalism students and journalists.
