The Roundup

A curated newsletter about politics, tech, media — and stamps

During my work as a political journalist, I ran across lots of interesting things on the Web that I’m keen to share. That’s what this seven-day-a-week newsletter is all about: Sharing stuff that I think would be of interest to Canadian and provincial legislators, their political staff, political parties and those who interact with legislators: journalists, public relations and government relations professionals, academics and students.

The headlines and excerpts are, for the most part, generated by the publisher of the item I’m linking to. Where I have a comment in the excerpt, you’ll see that in italics. If I’ve generated the headline and excerpt, I’ll take authorship by finishing the excerpt with a boldface - DA.

This newsletter, you should also know, is produced independently of my employer, Global News and is published seven days a week for most of the year.
