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.
The worst of the COVID-19 pandemic is behind us, and journalists and researchers are now tasked with understanding the lessons of this traumatic collective experience.
During the last quarter, the NB Media Co-op produced a half-hour talk show — part of our NB debrief series — that examined a disturbing aspect of Canadian society thrust into the spotlight by the pandemic: the crisis in long-term care.
One researcher who shared her expertise with us has linked more than 22,000 COVID-19 deaths to residential care facilities in Canada.
I have written a number of stories for the NB Media Co-op but one series in particular made an impact last October.
We reported on Oct.11, 2022, that children of some international students enrolled in career colleges were being denied access to public school.
We learned about the situation from Hola NB and Moncton Cares, two non-profits that support immigrants.
