It’s been a strange year.
At Canada’s National Observer — much like everywhere else — COVID-19 turned our lives upside down. Over the past 10 months, we’ve worked to uncover stories that illustrate exactly how the pandemic has impacted people’s lives and livelihoods, their families, their homes and their outlook on the future, all while living in this strange new reality ourselves.
As we head into the final stretch of 2020, podcast producer Shaghayegh Tajvidi delves into moments of surprise and resilience at the National Observer with an audio story that shares our experience over the course of this year — and explains why journalism remains a vital part of our society.
“One thing I know for sure,” editor-in-chief Linda Solomon Wood says, “... people who are trying to tell stories in a way that accurately reflects how people are experiencing the world, their challenges ... the need for that is never going to go away.”
Canada’s National Observer strives to bring you independent, reader-funded investigative journalism and reporting with a focus on energy, climate change, democracy, corporate corruption, First Nations affairs and politics.
In 2020 and beyond, you can count on National Observer reporters in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver to provide you with breaking news and in-depth reporting and analysis. And next year, National Observer is committing to expanding our reporting to track the best ideas in Canada for tackling climate change.
Only through your support can National Observer deliver the quality journalism needed to hold governments to account and inspire Canadians.
