P2P to Partner with New Canadian Media
The national conversation on immigration and diversity has recently been enriched by the appearance of New Canadian Media (NCM) – a website dedicated to news and views about immigrants.
P2P has agreed to partner with NCM, providing ideas for articles along with contacts for P2P experts who can be interviewed for these articles. P2P student members will also contribute original articles about their research to be published on the NCM website. For its part, NCM has also agreed to post information about on-line surveys conducted by P2P members in order to encourage readers to participate in these studies. The two organizations expect to publish each other’s research press releases and important announcements. George Abraham, the NCM’s founder and director had this to say about the arrangement: “New Canadian Media taps into a rich vein of research that has – so far – found scant resonance in the media. We hope to change that, in partnership with P2P, by dealing head-on with the issues of the day in a dispassionate, objective way — respectful of both journalistic first principles and academic freedom. I believe P2P offers us an entrée into an expanding network.”
