The Dominion/Media Co-op team has already set the bar high for coverage of the G8/G20. But now that the G8 and G20 summits are less than a month away, we're gearing up to cover the underreported stories from the summit, live from the streets of Toronto.
Journalists from the Dominion and the Toronto Media Co-op will be pounding the pavement from the People’s Summit to the fence, delivering news from the streets as it breaks, while the corporate media is relaxing by an artificial lake. You can follow all our coverage on the TMC site, and we're contributing with the rest of the G20 Alternative Media Centre to http://2010.mediacoop.ca.
We're asking our supporters to help us out with a special push to support the independent journalism that is so critical to movements for justice and change.
One-time donations of $20, $50, $100, have never been more important than they are today. Every penny will go towards covering the costs of cranking out timely, quality coverage from on the ground in Toronto.
During the 2010 Olympics this past February, the Vancouver Media Co-op reached more than a million people worldwide; it was the go-to source for breaking stories on the anti-Olympics movement; and the VMC made headlines on Democracy Now! – all on a shoestring budget.
Naomi Klein gave the VMC a plug in her newsletter when she encouraged her readers to "check out Vancouver Media Co-op for up-to-the-minute reporting from the streets of the Vancouver Olympics."
We are working together with the Toronto Media Co-op to help make high quality, local coverage of breaking stories a reality later this month.
Please consider supporting the Dominion/Media Co-operative’s coverage of the G8 and G20. Your support has never been more important than it is today!
See you in the streets,
