The Blueprint for a Resilient Future of Local News
Reclaiming Local Journalism Through Cooperation The fundamental conflict facing independent local journalism is how to serve the public interest when the traditional corporate model prioritizes profit over everything else. In Sarnia-Lambton, The Sarnia Journal (www.thesarniajournal.ca) is providing a powerful solution by shifting to a worker cooperative structure. This system of ownership and governance is designed to maximize community accountability instead of financial returns for external shareholders.

Birthdays Rock
Your birthday was this week, and though we’re not gift-giving close, I wanted to get you something, specifically, a really cool rock because a lot of rocks aren’t expensive, and everyone needs a lucky rock to keep in their pocket, one that nestles perfectly in the hand with a smooth surface to rub with a thumb when shit gets too real.
