Our Mission
What We Do
NewCanadianMedia.ca is Canada's premier web site dedicated to news and views about the one-fifth of Canadians who are immigrants. You'll find original journalism from an immigrant perspective along with content produced by our partners in Canada's ethnic media. Our content provides fresh insights into developments in politics and society, enhancing your understanding of our diverse world.
Our mission is to engage all immigrant communities and ensure they are a vital part of Canada's national conversation. We are proudly pioneering a new pan-Canadian form of immigrant journalism in tune with the country's changing demographics, while building bridges between its various solitudes. Our perspective is always Canadian, covering international, national, provincial, local and hyper-local issues that resonate within immigrant communities.
NCM is committed to exploring all forms of media art and storytelling, including multimedia, social media, narrative non-fiction and other innovative channels that capture the rich and varied lived experience of newcomers to Canada.
How We Do It
NewCanadianMedia.ca works with immigrant and non-immigrant journalists to produce original news coverage to a professional standard. We also aggregate content in English from ethnic media publishers while striving for a balance in our coverage of all immigrant communities. We will soon launch a subscription service to provide exclusive content to mainstream and ethnic media organizations.
Whether you've just arrived in Canada or you are a third-generation immigrant, if you want to contribute to the conversation, you're welcome here.
Our Funding
NCM competes with other media for readers and advertising and pursues revenue from diverse sources to cover its operating costs. We currently receive income from director-provided capital, advertising and government grants.
We graciously acknowledge the contribution of the Canadian Heritage Department ($25,000) towards web development, content generation and outreach activities, and the Inter-Action Multiculturalism Program ($175,000) towards developing a syndication service, building a virtual newsroom and launching a training/mentoring program for ethno-cultural journalists. We receive these funds on the understanding that New Canadian Media retains complete control over the selection and presentation of editorial content.
Educational mandate
New Canadian Media is a registered non-profit corporation with an educational mandate. We are dedicated to giving new Canadian journalists a platform to develop their skills, so training and mentoring play a large part in our strategy. We also plan to advance journalism education by sponsoring and participating in public debates, leadership seminars, speakers' series, workshops and internships.

Featured Quote
The honest truth is there is still reluctance around immigration policy... When we want to talk about immigration and we say we want to bring more immigrants in because it's good for the economy, we still get pushback. 
-- Canada's economic development minister Navdeep Bains at a Public Policy Forum economic summit
