The Dominion shows that there is more to be told; critical coverage that moves from the boardrooms to the global streets, clears the gas clouds, takes off the masks and confronts the forgotten and un(der)-reported issues. The mainstream media portrays these summits as rigid dichotomies of mask-clad protesters clashing with faceless riot police in a cloud of tear gas, all while world leaders try to right the global economic ship.

The Dominion is a project of Canada’s first media cooperative, jointly owned and democratically controlled by its readers, contributors and editors. The Dominion is affiliated with the Toronto Media Co-op, a grassroots media project taking aim at forgotten, skipped over, and poorly reported stories that reflect the reality of life in the metropolis. During the G8 and G20 summits, the Toronto Media Co-op aims to be a hub for independent, critical coverage.

The Dominion remains one of the best media sources about social and political issues in Canada, and this special issue once again shows why.
