Support Independent Journalism in Haiti!

Support Independent Journalism in Haiti!

The need for strong independent voices in Haiti is greater than ever. Here is your chance to support the work of a young Haitian photojournalist whose work is appearing on HaitiAction.net, Haitianalysis and other media important to the struggle for democracy. Wadner Pierre has been living and working with Father Gerard Jean-Juste for the last ten years. For the last two years, he has been reporting and photographing important human rights issues in Haiti. He brings to the world information and analysis directly from Haiti’s poor, something absent in the mainstream media. Right now, Canadian photographer Darren Ell and human rights lawyer Brian Concannon are trying to raise $1000 US in order to buy Wadner a new camera that will serve him in the years to come. To do so, they are selling photographs made by Darren and Wadner in Haiti over the last year. Click HERE to view the photographs and place your order !

Weblogs

Dominion Weblogs compiles the weblogs of Dominion editors and writers. The topics discussed are wide-ranging, but Canadian Foreign Policy, grassroots politics, and independent media are chief among them.

As an active member of the Atlantic Regional Solidarity Network and the Maritimes-Guatemala Breaking the Silence Network, I find the Dominion invaluable. I find news and analyses that I cannot find elsewhere without spending hours on the Internet. In particular, I pore through every issue to develop a critical understanding of Canadian foreign policy. As well, I find invaluable information regarding the environmental, social, cultural and political implications of resource extraction in Latin America and Canada. I nver come away disappointed.

In my efforts to support independent journalism and keep abreast of progressive perspectives on national and global issues, I also subscribe to This Magazine, Canadian Dimension and the Walrus. More often than not it is the Dominion that offers me the most up-to-date information and the most concise analysis. I urge anyone seeking an alternative and informed voice on critical issues facing us as Canadians and as global citizens to subscribe to the Dominion.
