IndigiNews serves Indigenous communities and non-Indigenous folks who are interested in learning more about our communities. We uplift Indigenous voices and demonstrate Indigenous joy in the face of oppression. We celebrate the beauty and strength in our communities, which so many other outlets do not, simply because they do not know it exists. We help to open the eyes of our readers, who are forward thinking, open-minded supporters of Indigenous people and communities, as well as members of Indigenous communities.
IndigiNews was created through a partnership between Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) and The Discourse. The goal of this partnership is two-fold: first, to provide journalism that serves and is driven by what local communities say they want. Second, to experiment with new business models for digital local news that contribute to the long-term sustainability of independent Indigenous news in Canada.
