Community Based Journalism

Kevin Taghabon of the Hoser joins the team at Blueprints for a discussion on Community based journalism, specifically the work of the Hoser, an independent media outlet based out of Toronto. Their "hyper local" approach allows them to produce quality, in depth reports that feature the voices of the marginalized. Voices often left out of main stream media.

We get the scoop on some of the Hoser's top stories, a hint of what's to come and a bit of current politically commentary.

You'll also hear how a few comrades formed a collective that now includes a podcast, a website and a monthly printed newspaper - without charging a dime or capitulating to advertisers. Most importantly, we discuss how all of this work plays into the larger progressive movement in Canada.
