About Us

The Link is an independent, student-run, not-for-profit multi-media publication at Concordia
University in Tio’tià:ke, now known as Montréal, Québec. It is located on the unceded lands of
the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation. It aims to publish stories with a focus on alternative and advocacy
journalism, and those often overlooked and not covered by corporate and legacy media.

Contributors, staff writers, and masthead cover stories about student life, as well as local,
national and international issues of interest to the Concordia and Montréal communities.
The Link does not enforce fear-mongering, and pledges to report with full accuracy, avoiding
misinformation and disinformation, and will never release content without ensuring thorough
fact-checking.

The Link is a learning space for writers, photographers, multimedia creators, designers and
artists to hone their skills and gain experience by working with the organization’s staff. It is also
a place to develop ethical and responsible practices in media and journalism. Every contributor's
knowledge, identity and expertise is valued and welcomed among The Link’s membership and
community. Everyone has a responsibility to pass along the knowledge they gained from their
time at The Link to the next volume of masthead, staff and contributors.

The Link is an organization that seeks to amplify and advocate for the disenfranchised and the
historically marginalized. It recognizes the importance of an equity, diversity and
inclusivity-informed work environment and is committed to nurturing new and future journalists
and media producers to create and engage ethically and thoughtfully with their peers, sources
and audience. Instances of harassment or discrimination based on a community member’s race,
sexual orientation, sexual identity, gender, age, physical or mental ability, socio-economic
standing, status, religion, nationality or any other identity or experience-based form of
exclusionary practices are not tolerated to any degree in the society. The Link celebrates the
plurality of intersectional experiences, narratives and perspectives, and respects the knowledge
of all peoples.
