"What hooks me is passionate artistry. Writers, dancers, actors, comedians, singers, and painters who share their talent with us, not for fame or fortune, but because they have to." -- Colin Mochrie
We think that's brilliant. And you know what? The Tyee's journalists are exactly the type of creative people Colin is talking about. Our writers share their talent for producing hard-hitting, investigative journalism far and wide, and they don't ask for a thing in return. Colin believes in this kind of passion, which is why he's supporting our writers through our Tyee Builder program. As he puts it on his website: "What we want is a place for Canadian storytellers and our stories. We want to share our talents with Canadians and with global audiences. We need to get it right now. Tomorrow is too late." Agreed, Colin.
