The NB Media Co-op is a media cooperative based in the province of New Brunswick on the unceded territories of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq and Peskotomuhkati.

Our flagship online publication is called the NB Media Co-op. We also publish a monthly broadsheet called The Brief and produce a political talk show with CHCO-TV called the NB Debrief.

As an independent media outlet, we publish stories not covered in the mainstream commercial media. Our stories take a social justice lens and include the perspectives of workers, students, Indigenous and racialized peoples, and groups marginalized by society.

Every month, more than 25,000 unique readers access hundreds of stories on our online publication, including new stories and articles from our 13-year archive.

Our readers are primarily in New Brunswick, throughout the province, and we have regular readers across Canada. Every month, people in dozens of countries around the world also read our stories.

Heather Whittaker woke up early one morning last September to find that her basement apartment in Saint John, N.B. had flooded due to a broken pipe. 

It was the latest in a series of setbacks for Whittaker, who struggles to make ends meet on social assistance while serving as the sole caregiver for her teenage son Justice, who suffers from a rare form of epilepsy.
