Discourse Media in the news

“There’s promise in asking how we can work together to do something more ambitious,” said Discourse Media co-founder and CEO Erin Millar in a new piece from Journalism.co.uk by Madalina Ciobanu which highlights Discourse Media’s most recent collaborative project, Power Struggle. Millar spoke to Ciobanu about the “solutions-oriented, systemic angle” Discourse Media brings to our work and how we track the “slow burn of change” with long-tail coverage after stories break.

Discourse Media has been covered in a number of of recent publications in addition to the Journalism.co.uk story.

As a counter to critiques of Canada’s lack of a “vibrant media culture,” Discourse Media was profiled in industry publication J-Source as one prime example of a successful Canadian journalism startup.

On the heels of the “mega-collaboration of investigative reporters” that leaked the Panama Papers, Discourse Media took part in a Vancouver Press Club panel on the future of journalism. The Tyee’s David P. Ball covered the free public event, where panelists discussed possibilities for innovative partnership in Canadian media. Millar asked, “How can we collaborate to bring expertise and resources to the table to do work [with] impact?”

In April, Millar attended the 2016 International Journalism Festival (IJF) in Perugia, Italy, where she spoke on a panel alongside major players like ProPublica, The Guardian, NPR and The Economist. Check out the panel below, and get more coverage of our time at the IJF here.
