That's not what I heard unless you have more recent scuttlebutt:

Amy Walker had been trying to withdraw from the Momentum for awhile. She is the original brain behind it. She has written a book to be released on the market this fall.

I believe Tanya Lo and Mia Kouhut are still there. Have you heard something different?

I know all 3 ladies, not in a close way. But we have chat up for awhile and vice versa.

Sarah Ripplingler is the managing editor. She has been there for at least 2 years or more.

I believe they had been offering internship placements for journalism students or similar.

Terry Lowe who handled Vancouver and Victoria news, died suddenly much to the shock of many people who knew him.

I know that most people don't know these folks personally. I'm just laying out what I do know.

It's hard producing a magazine with the cost of it too. There has to be sufficent ads sold to make it viable. Frankly I don't know how they have hung in for so long... I guess I have some knowledge --I was part of core organizing group for an Asian-Canadian magazine on the arts and social issues for 5 yrs. We had a paid subscription list of 300 people across North America.

Great times, great thought leaders.. but it was expensive and hard to produce it. above all we didn't have a succession plan to hand it over to next mentored volunteers.
