Harbinger has been a part of Canada’s independent media ecosystem since 2020. We are a collective of community organizers, activists, producers, journalists, and mobilizers building a sustainable and democratic future for Canadian media. By hosting local and nationwide events, supporting independent outlets and podcast producers, and creating digital spaces for discovering progressive ideas, we are committed to building a media network that is rooted in social justice, critical journalism, mutual aid mobilization and openly sharing of information that matters. 

A diverse media landscape can help foster the conditions for a just and democratic future. Via the Harbinger and Unrigged websites we are providing a platform where progressive ideas are at the forefront, instead of the algorithms prioritizing shareholder profit.

We are dedicated to uncovering news and current events through original and independent explanatory journalism and podcasting.    

We are supported by more than 200 individual members across the country that share our future vision for a just media landscape and believe in the power of community. The members of our board of directors help provide the vision and guidance for how to advance our goals, while both the McConnell and the Inspirit Foundation have provided funds to advance the mission of Harbinger Media Network through our partnership with unrigged.ca.

Organizational partners working in tandem with Harbinger include

SEIZE, The Broadbent Institute, Pivot, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, The Data Justice Hub, Chantier de L’économie sociale, The National Community Radio Association, Fernwood Publishing, Between the Lines Books, le Regroupement de la Media de la Gauche and The Council of Canadians

We’re proud to align our visions as we work towards building a fairer and more just and progressive Canada together.
