Job opening in Vancouver, BC

[Peggy Holman]

Hi all,

I recently spent time with Peter Pula, Axiom News Founder and CEO.  Appreciative Inquiry, a practice that also informs Journalism That Matters, is at the heart of Axiom's approach to reporting.  They call it generative journalism because they follow the energy of what's working.  And that tends to generate productive outcomes.

They have a fascinating business model, doing stories for clients to fund their journalism.  

Anyway, i just received an announcement that they're looking for a reporter in Vancouver:
