In this time of war independent media is more important than ever. While working in Afghanistan I have rarely seen any reports in the mainstream press that truly reflect the situation here. For journalists keen on spreading the truth, newspapers like the Dominion are essential. They give us hope.

About the Dominion

The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
