The Tyee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tyee is a Canadian online web magazine, which focuses on coverage of news and media issues in British Columbia.
The Tyee was launched in November of 2003 by David Beers, a journalist who had previously been associated with the Vancouver Sun. Other journalists currently associated with The Tyee include Rafe Mair, Murray Dobbin, Steve Burgess, Ryan Austin, Will McMartin and Barbara McLintock.
The site is currently one of Canada's most widely read sources of alternative journalism on the web.[citation needed]
[edit] Projects
In February, 2006 the Tyee launched two charitable funds to help pay journalists and provide stories not covered in the mainstream media. The Tyee Investigative Fellowship Fund provides grants for journalists doing in-depth, investigative pieces, and the Tyee Solutions Fellowship Funds provides money for those exploring successful innovations in the areas of ecological sustainability, equality and economic vibrancy. Between December, 2005, when the fund was first announced, and February when it was launched, they raised about $36,000 dollars, about $21,000 from reader donations and $15,000 from Endswell Fund at Tides Canada Foundation, who matched readers donations up until that point.
