As a co-op, our strength is our members. Over the next few weeks, we'll be sending our profiles of some of the people who support the co-op, from readers, to contributors to editors. Know someone involved with the co-op who we should profile? Send it to: info@mediacoop.ca.
As we do every month, in February we will pay two contributors for news stories to be published in The Dominion. We prioritize solutions-oriented news pieces with a Canadian angle, including photo essays and video pitches.
The Media Co-op is seeking pitches for investigative features. Writers will be paid $400 for 2200 words.
On Friday, Mandy Hiscocks, one of the seven out of 21 so-called "main G20 conspirators" who pleaded guilty last November, was sented to 16 months in prison on charges of counselling to commit mischief over $5,000 and counselling to obstruct police. Neither Mandy nor any of her co-accused were found guilty of conspiracy.
The Editor will bottom-line development of content for The Dominion from Toronto and will contribute to developing national content along with the other members of the Media Co-op editorial collective.
Happy 2012!
We're excited to kick off another year of digging deeper, bringing you relevant, timely stories, and building co-operative media together across Canada!
Last year was a busy one, with lots of great coverage both from the growing local media co-ops and from The Dominion.
At 15h00 local time in Durban, SA (8am EST), dozens of protesters gathered inside the International Conference Centre where the COP17 negotiations are entering their final hours.
Protesters have said they are prepared to stay all night, and that they will ensure their voices are heard.
Canada continues to face criticism at the COP17. On Friday, it won another Fossil of the Day award for Environment Minister Peter Kent's statement that the fossils awarded to Canada this week came from the 'uninformed' and the 'ideologically driven.'
