“This morning I received a call from the Globe and Mail asking me to subscribe for a reduced subscription rate of $25/month. Hell, this is more than my $20/month contribution to TMC. If people realize we are offering something much more useful than the print edition of the Globe and Mail (or the Star) then maybe they will decide to send us the amount of a Globe and Mail subscription and get more value for their money.”
-Tim Vining, Toronto Media Co-op sustainer
What sort of news do you want? At a time when the corporate media monopolies are going broke, folding and downsizing, the Toronto Media Co-op and The Dominion are growing and providing the sort of critical news coverage that is so lacking.
It is week two of the TMC's sustainer drive. If you are already a sustainer of the Media Co-op thank you for you support. If you haven't yet become a sustainer now is the time to join!
The Toronto Media Co-op launched only a few months ago but is already a go-to place in Toronto to get the sort of news the mainstream media just isn't covering: from police brutality to mining protests, from corporate profiles to the G20.
All new sustainers will not only own their media, but will also receive several other nifty perks, including subscriptions to the Dominion. Check it out: http://www.mediacoop.ca/join
Your funds will help fuel local, independent, grassroots media that you won't find anywhere else. Whether or not you can be a financial sustainer, anyone can register to post content to the site, or becoming a volounteer.
Thank you from the Toronto Media Co-op
