Launched in 2008, GroundWire is a bi-weekly national community news
magazine produced by a network of community radio stations. GroundWire
journalists are volunteers who also participate in the governance and
development of the program. Currently, GroundWire airs on more than
thirty campus and community radio stations in Canada. A project of the
National Campus and Community Radio Association (NCRA/ANREC),
GroundWire's priority is to connect diverse communities from
coast-to-coast-to-coast. GroundWire also encourages
self-representation by focusing on content that shares in the ethics
of human rights activism, equity, labour rights, democratic
communication, information exchange and progressive political and
social policy.
