The NB Media Co-op’s co-founder and coordinating editor was on CBC Maritime Connection on Sunday talking about the viability of local news.
Tracy Glynn explained that the co-op was formed 14 years ago by people from social movements, including environmental activists, Indigenous land defenders, labour unions, and anti-poverty advocates.
