In 2003, after the collapse of the Alberta Report, I began talking to my former colleague Kevin Michael Grace about starting an online news magazine. We were just shooting the breeze but we did manage to write down a few of our ideas. Grace, however, at that time was more involved in researching a new print magazine for a group of Edmonton-based writers to succeed the Report. Eventually, I was hired on at the Calgary-based Western Standard and our online idea just drifted away.
After the Western Standard folded last October, Kevin Michael Grace and I started talking up the idea of an online entity again. Neither of us could find the notes we’d made four years before. We did manage to reconstruct most of it from memory and I wrote it down and emailed it around. Someone asked, “How much would this cost?” So we worked up a budget. The result of combining the concept with the budget is “A plan for an online magazine.” If you want to invest, and you want the money to end up on the screen, as they say in the movie business, you’ll find contact info at the bottom of that page.
