About
Much like the mythical sasquatch, the public-interest role of the media
in Saskatchewan has been driven into the wilds. We only catch glimpses
of it now and then; people barely know what it looks like anymore or
how much our democracy suffers without it. An intrepid few, though, believe that
public-interest journalism still thrives in the wilds, and that it can
be returned to the towns and cities of this province for the benefit of
all. Join us in our hunt for the elusive sasquatch of independent
journalism!
The Sasquatch is a non-profit, independent Saskatchewan newspaper that covers issues and current events with a commitment to promoting the public interest and fostering democratic debate.
Published by the folks who bring you Briarpatch Magazine, The Sasquatch aims to expand the range of debate on important issues facing Saskatchewan. By enhancing local news coverage across the province, we hope to help create a democratic forum where Saskatchewan residents feel both empowered and inspired to bring about progressive social and environmental change.
The Sasquatch publishes online and in print, with print editions coming out every 6 weeks.
As a grassroots, volunteer-driven effort, The Sasquatch thrives on your support. Please consider subscribing, donating or submitting content.
