How Independent Progressive Media Punches Above its Weight (Harbinger Society ep32 w/ Press Progress, Briarpatch, Xtra + The Hoser)

Canada’s journalism landscape is changing, and smaller, independent media outlets are beginning to fill-in the gaps left by corporate media. PressProgress, an award-winning non-profit news organization, hosted a 3/29/22 virtual event called “Punching Above Our Weight: The Outsized Impact of Canadian Independent Media” featuring PressProgress’ Emily Leedham moderating a panel exploring how independent media is shifting perceptions about current events, politics and identity in Canada, including:

• Saima Desai: Editor of Briarpatch Magazine, a national magazine of grassroots politics based on Treaty 4 territory in Regina, Saskatchewan.

• André Goulet: Executive director of the Harbinger Media Network, an independent media nonprofit amplifying the voices of a new generation of leftist media creators.

• Kevin Taghabon: Editor at The Hoser, whose reporting focuses on labour, police violence and protests and demonstrations in Toronto.

• Mel Woods: Associate culture editor at Xtra Magazine, a non-profit online magazine and community platform covering LGBTQ2S+ culture, politics, relationships and health.
