New Content for the site

- Hillary L's Lockheed article will go up early this week.
- Hillary B has an arts article that will go up this week.
- Glen is interested in filming an interview with Adil Charkoui. Anyone interested in asking the questions?
- Glen is also interested in filming an interview with the man camped out on the original Africville site. Erica, are you still interested in doing this?
- We all agree that it would be great to have an article go up on what's happened/happening in Cole Harbour. Ben has some contacts through the school. We need a writer! Anyone interested in taking this on? Asaf?

More Contributors

There are lots of great ideas for stories but we need more writers! Ben is going to draft an email out that we can send to specific people we think might be good writers or who have expressed interest in writing. Ben and Hillary are willing to work with people who want help writing/editing their stories. Contact us! hillary|a|mediacoop.ca

More Sustainers

We are only a few sustainers away from being able to start paying writers (25 Halifax Sustainers). Once we can start paying writers (even occasionally) it will add momentum to the project. Hillary is going to send out another round of letters asking people to sustain. She will also draft an email that people can send around to friends etc.

New workshops

Hillary's doing a journalism working with GPI youth this week.
Discussions are also ongoing regarding having a skillshare at the Black Cultural Centre. Hillary met with someone about it last week.
