Local Xpress
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 314: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Local Xpress is an online newspaper based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was founded in 2016 by 57 members of the Halifax Typographical Unit's newsroom unit while striking from The Chronicle Herald, the city's daily newspaper.[1] The writers work on a volunteer basis. The Herald continues to publish using strikebreakers writing anonymously.
The strike began on 23 January 2016. Local Xpress was launched a week later, initially with a blog-like interface. In May, as the strike dragged on, the website was revamped as a full-service online newspaper in partnership with Village Media, an Ontario digital media company. It now aims to compete with the Herald, expanding to offer national and international news, event listings, columnists, weather, and other features.[2]
The strikers say that Herald management have refused to meet with them, but that if the strike is resolved, Local Xpress will be shut down.[2]
