Promoting CanadianShareableNews IV
Pieces of a recent self-description that can be shared with others.
Do you like what you see here?
Are you wondering how to describe it to others?
We recently described ourselves as follows:
Canadian Shareable News is focused on highlighting un- and under-reported news stories. We appreciate that journalists are very busy people. To support them in their work, we offer (extended) press releases and backgrounders on a range of topics in our CSN Press Room (See this tab of our full Substack: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/s/press-room.)
In each of our recent CSN Press Room posts, we provide background information that is not commonly being referenced in news reports (if the topic is being reported on at all.)
The most recent include:
Documentation showing military oversight of the public health declared COVID-19 pandemic country by country and a link to a very recent interview with the researchers who compiled this dossier over the past few years.
Two sample articles addressing deeper issues involved in the United Ostrich appeal of the CFIA cull order. Food security, bioethics, global health governance, and many other issues come to mind.
Announcements and findings related to the roll out of the mRNA vaccine products in Canada.
Observations about the "closed loop" between pollsters and news writers.
A look at unreported news via a "hidden headlines" matrix.
Essentially, our focus is on how Information Omission leads to Subversion of Democracy & the Roll out of Fascist Corporate Technocracy. We present 6 case studies in which this process is already underway in Canada (see: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/far-left-far-right-totalitarianism).
And we demonstrate how the use of Critical Balance Reporting Indicators by journalists can help increase societal awareness of these matters while reducing divisiveness among citizens.
A number of the posts in our Letters and our Reference sections relate to these matters as well as to journalistic ethics. See an introduction to our proposed Critical Balance Reporting Indicators here: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/csn-press-room-critical-balance-reporting-df7.
We encourage you to subscribe to CanadianShareableNews.substack.com (for no cost) to be notified as we seek to introduce more information professionals like yourselves to the existence and seriousness of these issues.
Poster Text:
For over a year, CSNews has been pointing out the reality of censorship in Canada. We believe that Information Omission leads to Subversion of Democracy & the Roll-out of Fascist Corporate Technocracy. We propose the use of the Critical Balance Reporting Indicators to help rebalance journalism and end divisiveness in Canada.
Previous Promotional Materials
Presenting a new "Gift of Free Information Card"
Last April, we posted a “business card” style of promotional tool for readers who wish to download, print, cut out and distribute them to help share the news of the existence of Canadian Shareable News.
Now might be a good time to also print off this new “Gift of Free Information” card. Perhaps a friendly like-minded store or craft market stand owner will consent to having a stack of either promo-tool lying around.
And here is a reprint of our earlier “business card” promo tool:
Double clicking on the above images can reveal the “Copy Image” command. This allows people to “copy paste” one or both promos into certain social media posts as well.
The PDF files can be downloaded, printed off in black and white (or colour if price is no deterrent) and cut out into cards to hand out. Consider also posting some on community bulletin boards or other visible places.
Possible conversation starters could be:
Have you ever heard of Canadian Shareable News? It’s a little weekly publication that shares the news not being reported on the mainstream news. I am not sure if you noticed how much our media is not telling us. I wonder how many of the topics here you have heard reported on recently in your favourite news show.
Have you noticed how the Military Industrial Complex doesn’t like it when peace activists shine a light on who benefits in wars? Nowadays with the same investment groups running the Military AND the mainstream News corporations, it’s been hard to find out what the peace movement in Canada has been doing these past few years. One place to start is Canadian Shareable News. It will link you to the websites of LOTS of citizen action groups.
I’ve been pretty jaded about the Hollywood celebrity crowd these days. Did you know there is a whole bunch of people who deserve real celebrity status for taking a principled stance and trying to share information these days? But the media never talks about them. If you want to learn more about some truly courageous Canadians who have been risking their jobs, and their social status for taking unpopular stances, check out the Homegrown Hero column every week in Canadian Shareable News.
You’ve been talking about so and so having all kinds of unrelated health issues ever since the COVID shots and boosters were rolled out. As long as the government doesn’t let any news come out about the many problems with the COVID-19 vaccine, Canadians are not getting the information they need to deal with their recent health problems. There is one place where the evidence re: vaccine issues IS making the news. Check it out. Canadian Shareable News. Here’s a little card you can take to check out the URL later on tonight.
