Rabble, the next chapter

Rabble.ca has always had an admirable spunk and a pithy approach to the news. While not a magazine in the traditional sense, it has marked "magazine" qualities (noble, steadfast and true) and it's worth noting the passage this site is going through. After four years depending on sponsors like Alternatives and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Rabble is now a non-profit corporation, with its own board. The board is buttressed by having Duncan Cameron agree to lend his very extensive lefty credentials to the position of Associate Publisher (presumably at a distance, since he's moved from Ottawa to the west coast). Judy Rebick remains Publisher.The site has $40k in a nest egg raised from its supporters and it intends to be self-sufficient, bolstered by some marketing and merchandising and advertising. Read more at the link below. And wish them well.
