Why make a Media Centre?This is the organizational home for the True North Media House. A non-profit group seeking to provide media creating resources and collaboration during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games and beyond.
This project was hatched by independent media creators Robert Scales, Kris Krug and Dave Olson after covering the last several Olympic Games and culture as non-accredited media. We wanted to extend the conversation to other media makers/publishers to craft a plan of action. We hope to coordinate with other organizations and outlets to fill the coverage void between "mainstream" media and fan/citizen coverage. This space is to share ideas and resources about establishing facilities, assembling resources, identifying sponsors, organizing events, etc. around the 2010 Winter Olympics and Para-Olympics in Vancouver/Whistler.
