New Canadian Media is a member-based, non-profit that exists to showcase immigrant journalism and amplify the work of journalists from various immigrant/ethnic backgrounds. Immigrants are among Canada’s marginalized communities, meaning that their views are not adequately reflected in public discourse, including through the media.

NCM has tapped into a deep reservoir of immigrant journalism talent – an untapped resource that counts over 200 individual contributors (“NCM Collective”) who speak and write in a rich variety of languages. NCM has also pioneered a national effort to raise professional standards through in-person training and mentoring under its educational mandate.

The NCM Collective champions newsroom diversity and reporters from marginalized communities who have historically been excluded from Canada’s editorial platforms, and, through fair and balanced journalism, advocates for change on behalf of immigrants by telling their stories.
