Digital Journal
Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin
Founded on the Internet in 1998, DigitalJournal.com began as a technology news site. When our readers started asking to take part in the news-gathering process, we jumped at the idea and in 2006 we started our paid citizen journalism site and we opened up to cover various types of news.
Evolving quite a bit since 2006, DigitalJournal.com is now a news home to many people who want to read news, contribute to reporting, debate and discuss news and events from around the world. DigitalJournal.com is a social news site powered by citizens like you.
Made up of professional journalists, citizen journalists, bloggers, passionate writers and regular Joes and Janes, DigitalJournal.com covers news and issues of the day from multiple perspectives. DigitalJournal.com has citizen reporters all over the globe, and you too can contribute to one of the fastest-growing news sites in the world.

While everyone can contribute to DigitalJournal.com through blogs, images, video and groups, we also offer citizen journalists a chance to get paid to report the news.
DigitalJournal.com is a community where citizen journalists get paid for reporting news.

Winnipeg Free Press
Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin
William F. Luxton was founding owner and editor of the Winnipeg Free Press.
From the day the first edition rolled off the presses in 1872, the Winnipeg Free Press has been an integral part of the city and province it serves. It is a position the newspaper is certain to maintain in the new millennium.
Part of the for the Free Press’ success can be attributed to the fact that it is only two years younger than the province of Manitoba, which joined Confederation in 1870, and actually two years older than the City of Winnipeg, which was incorporated in 1874. the result is that the newspaper has been around as long as the community itself, faithfully recording the growth and development of a muddy Prairie settlement at the forks of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers into one of Canada’s leading cities and the capital of a thriving province of more than one million people.
Indeed, there is no other major newspaper in Canada that is so closely associated with the hopes, dreams and ambitions of its readers than the Free Press. Over the years, the newspaper has gained a reputation as the province’s leading source of news, information and debate about local matters and ideas, as well as Manitoba’s voice on national and international issues.
Sir Clifford Sifton – Western patriarch, federal cabinet minister, and owner of the Free Press at the turn of the century. It is a reputation that can be traced back to the original owner and editor of the Free Press, W.F.
Luxton, and his partner John A. Kenny.
