[Wamvan] Our report on Canadian feminist blogosphere featured in Ms. Magazine! Plus: How you can publish your work on our website, too.

[Joanna Chiu]

Congrats WAM! member/researcher Candace Coulson for the feature on the Ms.
Magazine website!

http://msmagazine.com/blog/2013/06/12/the-femisphere-bloggers-from-canada/

If you haven't heard of our recently published report and catalogue on
Canadian feminist blogs yet, check out the summary and the downloadable
PDF's here:

You may have also noticed that WAM! has a completely revamped website. The
website is our new platform for WAM!CAN, the collective action network that
pushed Facebook to improve its policies on hate speech and rape "humour"
pages on its site.

WAM! Vancouver has our own page on the new WAM! website:
http://www.womenactionmedia.org/chapters/vancouver/

We will take advantage of the huge spike in traffic WAM! has been getting
after the #FBRape campaign to use our space to draw attention to Canadian
media and feminist issues.

Stay tuned for blogs posts and more original research from WAM! Vancouver
members! And please email us at wamvancouver at gmail.com if you would like to
contribute! All ideas no matter how wacky are welcome.

And I will be sending out the minutes from Tuesday's volunteer information
session tomorrow. We're excited to be entering a dynamic new phase where
any member will be able to take leadership and tap into WAM's resources and
networks to work together to advocate for gender justice in Canadian media.

I know this is a lot of info, so if you are new to WAM! or have any
questions, please contact us at wamvancouver at gmail.com.

Joanna

On behalf of WAM!Core Committee
