We survived Year 1! What a ride it's been so far.

When we launched @OverstoryMedia, we wanted to do things differently in the community news space.

Our starting point was simple: Find the best people and build the highest quality outlet.

How it's going:

[Farhan Mohamed @farhanmohamed]

Really proud to announce we've acquired one of the most iconic community publications in Canada, Halifax's The Coast.

An institution in #Halifax, @twitcoast has been around for nearly 30 years. It's our goal for it to continue for the next 30.

[The Coast - Halifax/Kjipuktuk @TwitCoast]

Some personal news! We're excited to announce that The Coast has been acquired and will be joining the @OverstoryMedia community!

What does that mean for us and you?

[Nikki Gill @nikkjit]

On The Coast with Gloria Macarenko: Bend it Like Beckham's 20th anniversay https://t.co/XA35F7X05V featuring our very own co founder @_roohi

[Didihood @thedidihood]

It has been 20 (yes, 20!) years since the release of "Bend it like Beckham." This film changed so many things for representation -- one of the first times we saw brown women juggle the realities of two cultures. Today we look back at what the film meant for all didis👏🏾
