A Canadian journalism community for independent news, reports, blogs, editorials, and whatever.

*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests, and not controlled by a major media conglomerate. “Independence” is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.

*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt, add the publishing or last revision date to the title in a tag [like this.]

Check out !Independent_Media@lemmy.today for independent news from around the world.

Or go to !wildfeed@sh.itjust.works for a less serious, anything-goes news community

All communities were created with the goal of increasing media literacy and media pluralism.

MODERATORS
 

In 2012, a survey from the nonprofit Vancouver Foundation identified a perplexing trend: as the city was densifying in response to its housing crisis, people—especially those who lived in high-density housing—reported feeling less connected to their neighbours. A growing body of research since then has found a correlation between living in high-density urban environments and increased rates of social isolation, due to factors including a lack of secure tenure in rental buildings, poor architectural design, a dearth of green space and limited access to nature, and stigma related to cultural values that equate high-density housing with lower social status.
