Join us at our Toronto Media Co-op (TMC) new contributors meeting to learn
what’s happening in Toronto and collaborate on coverage for upcoming
events and topics of interest. The meeting will start with a new members orientation including a talk about what exciting things we’ve covered
in the past for those who aren’t familiar with the TMC.
If you're into writing, photography, video, sound recording, illustrating, editing, reading, social media, event planning, fundraising or just
plain talking to people... there's a place for you with the TMC! All
levels of experience are welcome.
Accessibility Info:This meeting is child-friendly and TTC tokens will be available. We
regret that Harvest Noon is not wheelchair accessible. Please get in

What is the Toronto Media Co-op?
You may remember us from such events as covering the 2010 Toronto G20
protests, live on the ground reporting for and about Occupy Toronto and
more...
The Toronto Media Co-op is a grassroots co-operative news organization
aimed at providing a space for news for and from communities that are
organizing against oppression. We’ve published thousands of alternative
media news articles covering social movements and important events along with investigative journalism pieces. We see our publication as a model to counter corporatized media and “fill in the gaps”, as an institution that can be used by social movements to create and learn to create
media and as a collaborative space. The TMC is also a volunteer run
bureau of the national Media Co-op which publishes The Dominionmagazine.
The Toronto Media Co-op meets weekly on Mondays at 6:30pm at Harvest Noon
Cafe (upstairs at 16 Bancroft Ave - GSU Building, University of
Toronto). The first Monday of every month features a dedicated time for
new contributors and an informal informative educational component on an a journalistic topic or skill.
