The Dominion (newspaper)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dominion is a newspaper and web site in Canada.

The Dominion is published by the Dominion Newspaper Society, a non-profit organization. Formed by a group of independent journalists in April 2003, The Dominion publishes a print edition and distributes a pdf version of the newspaper online.

The coordinating editor of the Dominion is Dru Oja Jay, and the current section editors are Linda Besner (books), Anthony Fenton (Media Analysis), Sandy Hager (news), Jane Henderson (arts), Max Liboiron (arts), Hillary Lindsay (environment), Kim Petersen (original peoples), and Andrea Smith (health). Past editors include Michael Hunter, Amanda Jernigan and Daron Letts.

Previous contributors include Jon Elmer, Yuill Herbert, Erin Steuter, Jen Pierce, Matthew Trafford, Rob Maguire, and Stewart Steinhauer.

The staff is based in cities across Canada, with concentrations in Halifax, Montreal and Vancouver. A local edition of the newspaper was published for several months as a street newspaper in Ottawa, but went on hiatus due to police harassment of homeless vendors of the newspaper and lack of funds.
