IndigiNews
IndigiNews is committed to delivering news that ensures your stories are heard, comprehended, and valued. Our mission is to create meaningful, relevant, and reliable content by actively engaging with the communities we serve. The inaugural IndigiNews team was assembled in April 2020, focusing on Indigenous communities in the Okanagan Valley, with plans for expansion to Vancouver Island. IndigiNews emerged from a collaboration between the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) and The Discourse. This partnership has two main objectives: to provide journalism that is shaped by the needs and desires of local communities and to explore innovative business models for digital local news that support the long-term viability of independent Indigenous journalism in Canada.
