99 is a media collaboration among the Toronto Media Coop and other independent media projects, which operates as an independent outlet for citizen journalism, radical media, and no-corporate coverage of the Occupy Toronto movement and its related global struggles. While we share some of the goals and ideals, we are in no an official organ of Occupy Toronto, nor would we be so presumptuous as to speak for such a broad and diverse movement. We aim to report on the multiplicity of goals and motivations in Occupy Toronto as best we can, while maintaining critical distance as independent journalists.
