Present: Hillary Lindsay, Anna Pearce, Stephen Caines, Glen Canning
Next paid feature:
The group decided to accept a pitch by Erin Hemmens for an article on the state of midwifery in Nova Scotia. The writer proposed focusing on the lack of full midwifery services (eg. homebirth) available to many women in the province.
In order to get broader input regarding the issues and problems surrounding midwifery services we decided to post a discussion on the topic. People can contribute their thoughts here: http://halifax.mediacoop.ca/group/1/discuss/1819 This discussion will be taken into consideration by the journalist when writing the article.
