OpenMedia.ca where to?

50%

OpenMedia.ca is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working to advance and support an open and innovative communications system in Canada. OpenMedia.ca is the organization that coordinates Fresh Media and the SaveOurNet.ca Coalition.

We recently completed a collaborative Social Science Research Council study called "Revitalizing a media reform movement in Canada."

The results strongly suggest that, while we've had much success with SaveOurNet.ca and other initiatives, organizations working on media issues should work harder to find a common frame that resonates with more potential allies and the public at large.

We are currently re-envisioning our work, and we invite our supporters to contribute their insight via the following brief survey.
