Celebrating 30
This week’s issue is a special one, though its theme and format has shifted throughout the years.
-
Ch-ch-ch-ch changes
There’s a subtle thread of shifts and changes running through some of the articles in this week’s issue.
-
Near the end
For those not living in the context of an academic calendar, mid-November could seem like an odd time to start going on about almost being in January. We’ve barely even got enough snow to cover the grass!
-
Snowy stories
That white stuff is swirling about outside, and it may prompt some Winnipeggers to turn their focus to more indoor activities – at least until we’ve collected enough ground cover for building snow sculptures!
-
History isn’t over
This week’s cover story asks important questions about who records and collects history, and who can access it.
-
Reading between the lines
Simple turns of phrase or even the order in which a reporter introduces sources can hint at their inherent biases.
-
Your 30 faves
While there has been a lot of talk of voting on campus and throughout the city, we’re hoping you still have a bit of steam left for one more round.
-
Ballot time
There’s a lot of talk of voting in this issue, and there will be even more in the next one, too
-
Who could use a break?
Just as autumn snuck up on everyone this year (who forgot to tell the atmosphere about normal seasonal temperatures?), we’ve somehow suddenly landed in October.
-
Visions of Winnipeg
This week’s feature story fits neatly into the somewhat nebulous goal we’re always striving for here at The Uniter - which is to tell stories about this city, of those who love it and who are working to make it better.
-
Into the swing of things
I hesitate to make sweeping generalizations, but I think that by this, our third issue, we’re really getting a good momentum going at The Uniter.
-
Taking care
There’s a chilliness and a busyness in the air, for those starting a new school year and for those continuing along over the hop of mid-September without any grand changes.
-
Fresh faces
With this issue, The Uniter is officially 73 years old. None of us here now were there when it started, but we do have the archives to remind us of our humble roots.
-
Summertime Sadness
While summer is, for many students, a time to save up for an eighth of a year's tuition (or five months rent) through the Federal Student Workers Program or Manitoba's Green Team program, for students with disabilities those living with mental illness and neurodivergent students, it is also a time of financial exclusion.
-
For everyone?
There are a handful of words or turns of phrase that are unofficially banned from our lexicon at The Uniter.
-
Water words
The theme behind this year’s urban issue title, “Streams of Thought,” is water.
-
A work of heart
For this, our last regular issue of this production year, we have some really strong contributions from our volunteers - both visual and written.
-
Spring into summer
It may seem a little hasty to start talking about summer just a few days past the spring equinox with snow still falling and collecting on the ground.
-
Accessing stories
We’ve got a bit of an accessibility theme happening in this issue.
-
Making the news
Every Tuesday evening, the editors at The Uniter get together to share puns and review the last week of work.
