Indiegraf grew out of the work of The Discourse, an award-winning local news publisher based in British Columbia. They share a mission: to contribute to a more equitable and sustainable news industry so that everyone has access to quality journalism. But they contribute to that mission in different ways. The Discourse produces local journalism for community members. Indiegraf serves news publishers, empowering entrepreneurial journalists to succeed. Discourse Media, the company that operates The Discourse, owns part of Indiegraf, but they are completely separate entities.
