News about Edmonton’s local arts coverage
- By now you probably know that Liz Nicholl’s last day at the Edmonton Journal was Friday. While Liz is off to new adventures on her own website 12thnight.ca, Isis Tse has started a petition at Change.org to save the Edmonton Journal’s arts coverage. In addition to signing the petition, Isis also invites folks to contact Editor-in-chief Mark Iype (miype@postmedia.com) and VP editorial, western Canada, Lorne Motley (lmotley@postmedia.com) to voice your concerns.
My last day at the Journal! Off to a new venture, theatre-writing online 12thnight.ca. BIG thanks & gratitude for all the wonderful tweets!

- Local actress, producer, writer, and all around theatre professional Ellen Chorley wrote a great Facebook post following Liz’ announcement reminding us of all the great places we can find local arts coverage.
- On a related note, I enjoyed Mack Male’s recap of his trip to Chicago, and especially his thoughts coming out of the People-Powered Publishing Conference and the future of journalism.
