Dominion Launches Olympics Issue

Listen on-line! Interview with Hillary Lindsay, Dominion Editor

The Dominion is launching a new issue devoted to covering the effects of the Olympics on the Vancouver community. Editor Hillary Lindsay chats with Erica Butler of CKDU news, about how our emotional connection to the Olympics can mean we’re missing the stories of displacement, social cleansing, corruption, limits on free speech and massive public spending which go along with the world’s biggest amateur sport event.

In part two of this interview, Lindsay discusses the Dominion News Cooperative, how it works and who’s involved.
